She was born in Ludlow, Mass. In 1917, and received schooling there until her marriage in 1942, to Thomas Rohonick who predeceased her in 2007.

While raising her family in New York, Mrs. Rohanick actively volunteered in her community, including church and Girl Scouts for which she was later honored for 50 years of service.
