Rose was a very humble, yet gifted woman. As a foster grandparent in Julie Schrader's 1st grade class at Lincoln Elementary School, she found joy in moulding young minds with her many artistic skills. A top notch baker, she loved making cookies with her grandchildren, and giving a plate of cookies to the many people she knew for every occasion. Rose was a devoted wife, caring for her husband until his passing in 1995; and a caring mother and grandmother to her sons and grandchildren whom she loved dearly. She was a beautiful piece of her family's life, and her gentle soul will be forever present in their thoughts and hearts. A Memorial Mass will be held at a later date. Inurnment will be in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. Visitation will not be observed.
