Negeleva Roza (Rosa) Samuilovna (1909, Riga) — braider.

Roza Negleva received her education at the Beater Gymnasium from 1919 to 1929. Until the age of fifty she did not work due to health reasons (Graves’ disease; she underwent two surgeries) and was financially supported by her father, Negelev Samuil (1884–1936), and her brother, Negelev Yehuda (1911–1959).

During the war years she lived in evacuation in the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk. After the evacuation, she returned to Riga together with her family in 1945. Following her brother’s death in 1959, she began working as a home-based worker; a year later she was transferred to the multi-branch enterprise Trud (“Labour”). She worked as a braider until 1977 and was granted Group II disability status.

In the mid-1970s she lived alone in Riga, requiring constant care, and planned to move permanently to Israel to live with her cousin Reuven Lutrin (1908), who had emigrated to Israel in 1960.

Her sister, Ida Maragal (née Negeleva) (1906–1976), emigrated to Palestine in 1934.
