Some of my best childhood memories are of the Friday nights at Aunt Rosie’s and Uncle Vern’s house with all of my family. She had the best sense of humor. She was always good with kids and I will cherish my memories of the little time I had with her now more than ever. Go be with Uncle Vern again and be happy. I love you.

“Which one is Aunt Rosie? Oh, I know now!!! The one with the long white hair, funny with a smile on her face? The one that always came to see us at grandmas with the red truck!” Yes Carver that’s Aunt Rosie.
She always made us feel loved by coming over when she knew we were home, even if it was, just a quick hello.
We treasure our memories and will miss seeing you but know you are resting now – where you have longed to be for m as my years.
Love Cruz, Carver, Sara and Paul

To Rosie’s family I was saddened to hear of her passing. She did have a good sense of humor and a wonderful smile and laugh. She was willing to help when asked by the Otsego Women of the Moose all we had to do was call. Unless it was winter with a lot of snow then she would say No. Great lady and I know you will all miss her. So glad I got to know her. May she rest in peace.
