She had many passions, including bowling, playing cards with family and friends, going to purse-bingo, shopping and listening to music.

Rosalie loved spending time with her family, and she relished every moment with them. She always looked forward to family gatherings and made sure everyone felt loved. She was a very giving and compassionate lady. She was also passionate about her pets that she had throughout the years.

My heartfelt prayers go out to John and family. Rosie had a kindred heart and spirit. She always managed to send me some of her cards she made. I will miss her very much. I will see you on the other side, Rosie. Spread your wings and fly my sweet cousin.

Rosie was a member of the Active Older Adult Water Fitness Class for close to 15 years. I was her instructor and friend. I hope her family can find comfort knowing so many others care. She was a beautiful Christian woman who is now in the arms of Jesus.
