Marom, Shoshi

Shoshi Marom’s life takes 24 years to cut off on a clear summer day in a fatal road accident. On her way to visit a wounded wife in a convalescent home in northern Israel, she died. Perhaps symbolic of the fact that Shoshi’s last path characterized her character and personality. An endless love for friends and family, willingness to help and help in stress, to encourage and be an attentive ear in moments of distress. Her life track is typical for her peers – she was born in Daughter of-Yam (20 Elul 5712, 10.9.1952), the eldest of four children, the Akiva elementary school, the Bayit Vegan high school -Pitman High School in Tel-Aviv In April 1971, she was drafted into the IDF. After basic training, she completed a course in control room workers and was put into the air force. After completing her regular service, she volunteered to serve in the permanent army in Abu-Rhodes, where she spent the entire Yom Kippur War. After completing her service in Sinai she moved to serve in the Tel Aviv area. Her duties in the army were mostly gray and hard, but when she was assigned a job she performed it on an excellent level, modestly, stubbornly, with devotion and responsibility. In August 1976, she married an officer in the permanent army. The young couple began their joint journey in the Bukharan neighborhood of Jerusalem, and Shoshi moved to serve in the Central Command. Despite the responsible role she was assigned and for which she devoted many hours, she managed to nurture a warm family nest and as a housewife began to develop many hobbies as a variety of handicrafts and cooking. Her diligence and persistence in all her actions left no deprived field of occupation. Common dreams of a bright future-near and far-about desires and plans-were cut short after months of marriage, in the field of carnage-on the road. Her family donated a Torah scroll in her memory to the synagogue in her neighborhood.
