LAUFER

Evelyn (Green) Laufer of Storrs and Woods Hole, Mass., passed away quietly in 
her sleep Wednesday, May 2, 2001, following a long and valiant fight for her 
life against ovarian cancer.

Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., and educated in art, she received her teaching degree 
from City College of New York and a special education teaching certificate from 
St. Joseph College in West Hartford. She taught elementary school children for 
more than 40 years in Ithaca, N.Y., Baltimore, and was a master elementary school 
teacher for more than 20 years at Andover Elementary School in Andover. Evelyn 
Laufer was a dedicated and gifted teacher, highly regarded for her approach to 
teaching children about respect and diversity. She taught morals and ethical values, 
and Hebrew reading at Temple Beth Sholom in Manchester and several other Connecticut 
synagogues. A long-term resident of Manchester, Ms. Laufer was a recent five-year 
resident of Storrs. She was an active and innovative member of the Board of Associates 
at the Marine Biological Laboratories in Woods Hole, where she spent more than 40 
summers with her family.

Evelyn Laufer was the dearly beloved wife of Hans Laufer, Ph.D., professor of molecular 
and cell biology at the University of Connecticut and Marine Biological Laboratories; 
and the adored mother of Jessica K. Laufer of Los Angeles, Dr. Marc R. Laufer of Weston, 
Mass., and Leonard J. Laufer of Scarsdale, N.Y., and their respective spouses, Dr. Neal 
Halfon, Dr. Susan Rosenfeld Laufer, and Terry Gushner Laufer. She leaves behind five 
adorable grandchildren, Isaac, Emma, Isabella, Alexandra, and Arianna. She is survived 
by her mother, Sylvia Green of Queens, N.Y.; her sister, Barbara Roseff and her husband, 
Lionel; and cousins, nieces, and nephews.

The family is grateful for many years of caring and excellent medical treatment she received.

A funeral service will be held at 4 p.m. today, May 3, at the chapel of Weinstein Mortuary, 
640 Farmington Ave., Hartford, with interment at 11:30 a.m. Friday, May 4, at Beth David 
Cemetery, Elmont, N.Y.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Lawrence Shulman, M.D., Dana Farber Cancer

Fund, Woods Hole, MA 02543.
