LA JOLLA — Natasha Josefowitz, PH.D. (19262023) died peacefully on Wednesday. She was the wife of the late Herman Gadon, PH.D., mother of Nina and the late Paul Josefowitz; grandmothe­r of Laura Stahl, Aaron and Daniel Myran, and Nicholas Josefowitz; great grandmothe­r of Cole and Quinn Stahl, Oliver & Max Myran, Alec & Ben Josefowitz; and sister of the late Alec Chapro.

Born in Paris, France, she came to the United States to escape the Nazis in 1939. She was a bestsellin­g author of 21 books, including critically acclaimed management textbooks and award-winning books of humorous verse. She was a professor at the University of New Hampshire and San Diego State University business schools, where she taught some of the first courses for women in management. Her book “Paths to Power: a woman’s guide from first job to top executive”, became a classic. She was an internatio­nal keynote speaker, syndicated columnist, and a frequent guest on local and national talk shows. Natasha has also been inducted into the San Diego County Women’s Hall of Fame for her groundbrea­king work empowering women.

Later in life, she was widely recognized for her pioneering work on growing older and for authoring best-selling books such as “Too Wise to Want To Be Young Again” and “Been There, Done That, Doing It Better!” The Washington Post noted: “Natasha Josefowitz is helping her generation, and those that follow, find their way into a successful, meaningful and fun older age... her optimism about aging is inspiring.”

Donations in memory of Natasha Josefowitz can be made to the Natasha’s Scholars Fund, White Sands La Jolla, 7450 Olivetas Avenue, La Jolla, CA 92037.

May her memory be for a blessing.
