Her generosity and kindness touched so many lives, it was effortless, never did she expect anything in return. Rose was very selfless and enjoyed the simple things in life. She brought many smiles to people’s faces. Rose volunteered for Meals on Wheels and was generous in donating her time to others.

Rose enjoyed gardening and had an exceptional green thumb. She loved getting lost in a good book. In her spare time, she loved to shop and spend time with her family and friends.
