She was a devoted homemaker – a great dessert maker. She believed strongly about instilling our Catholic faith. She was a 23 year volunteer at Heritage Manor in the beauty shop. Rose was a loving and unconditionally supportive grandmother. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, especially doing picture puzzles. She loved Mardi Gras and in her earlier years, she loved dancing. She enjoyed to read and do crossword puzzles. She loved watching NCIS and Blue Bloods – mostly because of Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and Tom Selleck. She also loved her numerous nieces and nephews. She was an Altar Society member and parishioner of Holy Rosary Catholic Church.
The family would like to thank Dr. Jules Dupont, Dr. Richard Abben and the CIS staff, Dr. Miguel Aguillera and the ER staff at TGMC, the Heritage Manor staff, and TGMC 4th floor nursing staff for the wonderful care given to her.
