Rosalie was a very hard working and faithful employee as I knew her for so many years; a true individual in every sense of the word!

I will always remember Rosalie as I entered the American Legion.
Seeing her smile and always in a good mood. She was easy to talk to about anything and she was such a kind spirit. I will miss her so very much but so glad I got to know her for the little bit that I did.
Peace to you my friend.
Val C.

I had the privelage of working with Rosalie for many years at "The Big K". She trained me at the service desk and we worked well together as a team. My thoughts are with her family during this time.

I worked with Rosalie for over 25 years at Kmart. She was always good natured, and loyal. I was fortunate to have run into her before the covid issue, at the VFW in Wesleyville. Our prayers are with the family, and we are sorry for your loss.

I have many childhood memories of spending time at Gram's house and Aunt Rosalie and Stephen always being there. Although we moved away when I was a teen, I was fortunate to reconnect with much of my extended family about 10 years ago and was able to stop by Aunt Rosalie's house and met Bernie. I'm sad to hear about this sudden and unfortunate loss. Rest in Peace Aunt Rosalie, you're in a better place in the hands of our Lord.

Sincere condolences to Bernie and to Rosalie's family. She was a sweet gal and was a neighbor when we were kids. She was taken way too young but is now at peace with her mom and dad and older brother and sister.
She always had a smile and a kind word. The Legion won't be the same without Rose!
RIP Rosalie.

Rosalie ran a tight ship at the service desk, some thought she was too tough, but I knew she was super funny. She will be missed. Prayers for her family and friends. RIP Rosalie.
