Rose never had an unkind word to say about anyone. She washed her curtains & windows twice a year whether they needed it or not, loved the Phillies and playing Pinochle where she was "all business." She never forgot to send a birthday or sympathy card. She was a great cook and always had a tasty morsel for whoever stopped by. Rose inspired us with her humility, compassion, generosity and servant's heart and was a friend to many. Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing on Saturday from 9:30 am at St. Clare of Assisi Parish, St. Michael's Church 313 Memorial Ave., Gibbstown, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11am. Interment Eglington Cemetery. Donations in her memory may be made to Heartland Hospice, 1385 Chews Landing Rd. Clementon, NJ. Arrangements by LANDOLFI FUNERAL HOME of Paulsboro.
