Sharon Rogolsky ’76

Sharon died April 19, 2024, in Boston of multiple serious health conditions.

Born and raised in Waterford, Conn., Sharon attended Connecticut College before entering Princeton, where she majored in mathematics. 

After graduation, she returned to Connecticut and studied at the Yale School of Management, earning a master’s degree in public and private management in 1984. She received an M.A. and M.Phil. in organizational behavior from the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1989. She moved to Greensboro, N.C., where she worked as a research analyst at the Center for Creative Leadership. In 2008, she moved to Boston, where she worked as a graduate student tutor at Cambridge College. 

In her 20th-reunion yearbook essay, Sharon reflected, “It’s been a long, strange time. It was only yesterday.”

She was known for her intellectual curiosity and wit. Her appreciation for art never flagged even while enduring debilitating illnesses. Sharon cared deeply about Judaism, and civic duty. She took pride in volunteering for years as a poll worker in Somerville, Mass.

The class officers send sincere condolences to her sister Barbara Rogolsky and brother-in-law Evan Thayer. Sharon’s burial was held May 1 at Beth El Community Cemetery in Groton, Conn.
