Roslyn Shiner, née Shaffer, died February 11, 2026 at her home in Glenview, Illinois, at the age of 99. Roz was a proud mother, grandmother and great grandmother in an ever-expanding family that adored her. She was devoted throughout her life to her husband Sam, who predeceased her by 57 years, and to her three children and their partners: Randy Gussis (Lloyd), Marcy Shiner Edidin (Gary) and Bill Shiner (Jacelyn). She is also survived by grandchildren Sam Gussis (Pam), Mike Gussis, Mindy McEwen (Eric), Samantha Jankowski (Kamil), Elissa Edidin, Meredith Shiner (Josh Zembik) and Sam Shiner (Justyna), as well as by six great grandchildren. Roz was a one-of-a-kind figure in the lives of those who had the privilege of crossing paths with her. She was an avid Chicago sports fan, known in the 1990s to occasionally dial into sports radio to critique hosts for being too harsh on her Chicago Bears. She spent decades playing mahjong on Saturdays and poker on Tuesdays with her closest friends. She never missed a weekly manicure. And she loved nothing more than tearing up the dance floor at family events, from b’nai mitzvot to weddings, and filled a long life with such happy occasions. A lifelong Chicagoan, Roz was an alumna of Von Steuben High School and was one of three children, including her late brother Harold Shaffer and late sister Beverly Rochlin. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate contributions to the National MS Society in Roz’s memory, https://donate.nationalmssociety.org. Chapel service will be held on Monday, February 16, 12:15 PM at Shalom Memorial Funeral Home, 1700 W. Rand Rd, Arlington Heights. Interment to follow at Shalom Memorial Park.
