Rose Marie was a loving daughter, wife, mother and grandmother who was kind and generous with her love. She instilled strength and independence in her three daughters (Patricia, Loretta and Vanessa) and put her family first. Our favorite memories are the traditions she taught us and the late-night games. We have fond memories of family vacations, hosting parties, baking holiday cookies, always opening our home to anyone and Sunday morning breakfasts. Rose Marie had a quiet strength, always knew the right time to discuss a sensitive subject and had the look that stopped you in your tracks to stop you from what you were doing. Rose Marie was a talented Interior Designer and had her business with her best friend. Both of our parents instilled a strong work ethic and taught us to take in DIY home improvement projects. Her favorite title was G'ma (grandma) to her two grandchildren (Nicholas and Alexandra).
