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.
