| Occupation | Ruth Rosett Cunin, 92, who taught in public schools in Washington, D.C. and Montgomery County for more than 60 years, died at her home in Kensington June 16 2000.
Born in Philadelphia, Cunin came to the District with her family as a child. She studied teaching at Wilson Teacher's College in the District, and in 1935 earned a bachelor's degree in education from George Washington University, where she later earned a master's degree in education.
Cunin taught at Barnard, Rudolph, Keene and Shepherd elementary schools in the District, and retired at the age of 70. For the next 10 years, Cunin served as a regular substitute teacher at Woodacres Elementary School in Bethesda and Rock Creek Forest in Chevy Chase.
She retired for a second time at the age of 80. During her retirement, Cunin continued teaching, specializing in teaching English as a Second Language to new immigrants at the Jewish Community Center in Rockville.
She also worked as a volunteer at the Montgomery County Thrift Shop in Bethesda.
Cunin's husband of 49 years, Hyman Cunin, a noted architect and professor at Howard University, died in 1985. Cunin is survived by her sister, May Aaronson of Bethesda; three daughters, Janet Blumenfeld of Gaithersburg; Irene Glaser of Potomac; and Lenore Shavell of Potomac; five grandchildren and two great-grandsons.
