Elizabeth Rohman, customer service rep
Elizabeth Rohman's maternal instincts often kicked in when she worked as a customer service representative with Kenner Toys in Cincinnati.
"If somebody called to ask about a broken toy or a missing part, she would do everything to try to help them. She loved working with people, " said her son, Eric Rohman of Florence. "She would field questions from all over the world, and she enjoyed solving their problems. She was the mother everybody should have."
Mrs. Rohman, 79, died Tuesday at 12:55 p.m. at St. Elizabeth Medical Center North Hospice, Covington. Born in Portsmouth, Ohio, she was a resident of Latonia for more than 35 years.

She was a member of Latonia Block Watch and loved working on arts and crafts, her son said. "Everything from stained glass windows to painting pictures. She was always up for something new and interesting, " Eric Rohman said. "You never knew what you were going to get for Christmas."
