Rosalie was an amazing woman who valued family and loved ones above all else.

She was selfless to her core, taking care of many family members and friends in their time of need. She was a devoted wife, wonderful mother, and a very proud, loving grandma and great-grandma. She will be remembered by her family and loved ones for her quick-wit, giving nature, and unconditional love and support.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to the Alzheimer’s Association.
