Charlotte Vangrov Horwitz, age 102, a native Daytonian, died Sept. 4 of natural causes. The widow of Dr. Alan S. Horwitz, she was a well known member of the community, active for many years in a number of organizations, including the Women’s Auxiliary of Good Samaritan Hospital (of which she was past president), the Dayton Ballet, and Beth Abraham Synagogue. She is survived by her brother, Sherman, of Cincinnati; three sons and daughters-in-law, Dr. Jeffrey A. and Wendy, Jonathan and Beverly — both of the Dayton area — and Murray and Lisa, of Chevy Chase, Md.; 11 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and countless friends. A memorial service will be held for the public at a later date. Friends are encouraged to make donations in her memory to the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance and the Simon Wiesenthal Center. The family wishes to thank especially all the caregivers and staff of Lincoln Park Manor for their exemplary service and devotion.
