Evelyn Rothstein Satisky, 79, of Raleigh, N.C., passed away on Jan. 1, 2025, at Rex Hospital, which is also the hospital in which she was born.

Born on June 20, 1945, in Raleigh, N.C., Lyn was the beloved daughter of Al and Sara Rothstein. She grew up in Raleigh and was a proud member of, and a leader in, Beth Meyer Synagogue and the greater Jewish community.

Lyn graduated from St. Mary’s School, where she was valedictorian, and from UNC Chapel Hill. Throughout her life, Lyn exemplified the values of kindness, compassion, and love. She was extremely devoted to and proud of her large family. She was also everyone’s favorite mom, at least partly because she kept everyone fully fed. She had an incredibly big heart, and she loved and cared for so many people.

Lyn is survived by her loving family: her loving and devoted husband of 59 years, Howard (with whom she had been with since the age of 15); her sons, Keith (Graham), Brian (Shelly) and Mark (Elana); her grandchildren, Jake, Luke, Aly, Jay, Ava, Brett and Chase; her brother, Gilbert (Margaret) Rothstein and sister, Harriet Karesh. She was predeceased by her parents, Al and Sara Rothstein. Her memory will forever be a blessing to all who knew and loved her.

A funeral service was held at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 5 at Beth Meyer Synagogue, followed by burial at Raleigh Hebrew Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Beth Meyer Synagogue, the Jewish Federation Greater Raleigh, or the charity of your choice.
