She was a homemaker for many years and then entered the workplace as a hostess at The Red Fox Restaurant. She later worked for a physical therapist for many years. She earned her nickname, “Rockin’ Rosie” because she was a social butterfly who was always on the go. She loved traveling, dancing, bus trips and playing bingo. She most cherished sharing a good meal with her friends and family. Rose was a devout Catholic whose faith was of the utmost importance to her. She attended weekly Bible studies at St. Joseph church for over 40 years. She volunteered at Franklin Square Hospital, visiting and administering Communion to the sick.

A celebration of life service will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Fullerton, MD (8420 Belair Road) on November 9th at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in her name to St. Joseph Church.
