Denver native and longtime Temple Emanuel member Bernice “Bernyee” Rothstein passed away on August 4, 2023, at the age of 96. A service was held on August 7 at Mt. Nebo Cemetery, officiated by Cantor Elizabeth Sacks. Feldman Mortuary handled the arrangements.

Born on February 6, 1927, Mrs. Rothstein (née Miller) attended Gove Jr. High and East High School. On Dec. 31, 1944, at age 17, she married Julius Rothstein; they remained a couple until Mr. Rothstein’s death in 1994.

“They fell in love on the first blind date when they went dancing and never stopped,” Mrs. Rothstein’s family said.

Mrs. Rothstein was a makeup artist for Mademoiselle Magazine and a model for Oscar De La Renta shows, as well as a grooming instructor for Frontier Airlines.

She and her daughter Alana owned a women’s self-improvement studio in Cherry Creek.

“She was basically a modern feminist without even knowing it,” Alana said. “She was an active, adventurous and funny, beautiful lady.”

Mrs. Rothstein and her late husband were members of Temple Emanuel for over 60 years.

Survivors are Alana (Barbi Bonfiglio) Rothstein, Morton (Louise) Rothstein and Michael Rothstein; grandchildren Alan, Jonathan, Daniel, Jacob and Spencer Rothstein.
