Cantor Stanley Cohen

Stanley Wolf Cohen

Cantor Stanley Cohen passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of September 7, 2025, at 97 years old; he was blessed to celebrate his birthday on August 24, 2025, with so many of his loved ones. His remarkable persistence, perseverance, and patience will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Stanley was preceded in death by his passionate wife, Shirley (Blackman) Cohen, and by his caring daughter, Sheri (Cohen) Rosengarten. He was preceded in death as well by his 7 siblings, especially his dearest sisters Edith (Harry) Segal and Stella (Jerry) Frank. Stanley’s legacies of devotion and loyalty live on through his beautiful family, including his dedicated son, David (Pamella) Cohen; his prized grandchildren, Jessica (Craig) Brimmer, Jacqueline McLaughlin, Alexis (Chris) Cohen, Jonathan Cohen, and Jarred Cohen; his spirited great-granddaughters, Clara-Rose, Kaylee, and Livia; and his many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, his cousins, and all of their beautiful children. Stanley Cohen was a patriarch in the truest sense of the word. He was known to his closest family as a gentle lion; and his kindness, humor, wit, and conviction in all he did will be greatly missed. His memory will be cherished by the many family and friends who were blessed to know his tremendous dedication, vocal talent, and persistent love.
