Shelly Ellen Posner Horenberg
2008
Shelly Ellen Horenberg, 72, who worked as a bookkeeper for 40 years in her  husband's insurance business and who knitted hundreds of baby caps, died March  30 of complications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at Anne Arundel  Medical Center.
Over the years, she sent hundreds of newly knitted baby caps and blankets for cancer patients to the Anne Arundel Medical Center, her family said.
She was born Baby Girl Posner in Baltimore and grew up in Washington, where  she attended  Coolidge High School and a business school. She married Ted  Horenberg at the Willard Hotel in 1954, and at the same time she changed her  name to Rochelle Shelley Ellen Posner.
Mrs. Horenberg and her husband lived in Silver Spring before moving to  Annapolis 25 years ago. She retired as a bookkeeper in 2001.
Along with knitting, she enjoyed traveling, going on cruises and crocheting.
Besides her husband, survivors include three sons, Robert Horenberg of North  Potomac, Hal Horenberg of Potomac and Glenn Horenberg of Silver Spring; and four  grandchildren.
