Rose was a kind, compassionate, caring woman who always put others over herself. She loved life and enjoyed traveling with her family. Taking cruises, trips to the Cape and the beach, playing cards and going to the casino were some of her favorite activities. Rose worked at several local stores within the community where she always greeted everyone with a smile. Rose loved being "Nana" to her "Little Buddy" Hayden and was very fond of their picnics, special hugs and kisses and playing vroom vroom with his cars. She was deeply loved and will be sorely missed.
