Rich and Rose built their life around love and family. Rose worked at Magee Middle School as a Librarian. She retired in 2004 and spent much time with her husband, children, and grandchildren.  She loved to fish, enjoyed the Riverboat and was always ringing her bell during Packer games. Rose also enjoyed playing card games with friends and family and putting together numerous puzzles as well as collecting many smiley faces. She knew no stranger and always had a way of making every single one of her grandchildren feel like they were her favorite. She loved fiercely and will be missed every day, but her memory will never fade.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
