Rose always had her family and friends on her mind, in her heart and in her prayers. She was a beautiful and humble soul who lived a faithful life. Rose loved God and loved people with unconditional love. She enjoyed her family and friends, going to mass everyday, praying her prayer book, praying the rosary, going out for breakfast, and playing solitaire on the computer.

A special thanks for the loving care provided for Rose at the end of her life to everyone at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Nursing Home and Medi Hospice Healthcare.

A private Funeral Mass will be held at St. John the Evangelist Church, 2400 West Ridge Road, Rochester, NY 14626. Immediately after Mass there will be a private interment at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. There will be no calling hours.
