Rosenkrantz was born in Manhattan, New York City, on 26 August 1910. She had been visiting the Queens Library at Forest Hills for over 60 years. She commented that she enjoyed attending the musical programs, especially the concerts from Lincoln Center Local. At some point, she got married and had children.
At the age of 104, she had great-grandchildren. When asked about the secret to her longevity and energy, she said she didn’t have any advice: “I live simply,” she commented.
Her age was verified by Eli Logan and Stefan Maglov, and validated by LongeviQuest on 15 August 2024.
