Rosalie Engel dies of injuriesTucson businesswoman Rosalie Engel, 48, died Sunday from injuries she received in an automobile accident near Moriarty, N.M., on Saturday.
Engel, a native of Chicago, moved to Phoenix in 1946 and, in 1955, started the delicatessen chain “Your Chef Take Home Food.” In 1958, she relocated to Tucson, bringing her business with her. She opened three stores and established a catering service.
More recently, Engel founded and operated the “Singing Sword” kennel, which specializes exclusively in caring for Irish wolfhounds. About five years ago, she developed a diet for the dogs that was accepted by owners from all over the country.
As an artist, Engel had painted and sold oils of the dogs, but she gained more recognition for her desert landscape paintings.
A recent graduate of the University of Arizona, Engel was a member of the Omicron Nu collegiate honor society for home economics.
Engel had also worked with the Jewish Community Center since her arrival in Tucson.
She is survived by her mother, Rebecca Engel of Phoenix; a brother, Sheldon A. Engel of Tucson; and sisters Annette Engel of Phoenix and Glorianne Engel of Des Moines, Iowa.
Services will be held at 3 p.m. today at Sinai Mortuary Chapel, 4538 N. 16th St., in Phoenix, with burial to follow at Beth Israel Memorial Cemetery, 3401 W. Jackson St.
The family asks that remembrances be sent to The City of Hope Hospital in Duarte, California.
