She was preceded in death by her parents, sister, Judy, husband, Oliver, and son David.
Rose was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She was practical about life and a planner, but we have found that she was more sentimental than she let on.
In following her specific wishes, no services will be held at this time.
