Not sure what to say?

Such a wonderful person. A teacher that left a life long impression.

Mrs rose as I said in last post was my favorite teacher. She would share stories about Jack Nicholson as I would help her clean up the art room. She truly was like an extended family member. Her class was a safe haven for me when I was being bullied. God bless her.

I just looked Mrs Rose up because I was sharing memories of her with my daughter who is an art student in college. I unfortunately saw she passed. She was so kind to me at TOMS RIVER HIGH SCHOOL SOUTH. She picked my art to be painted downtown and it won an award. She always made me feel special and was so kind.

I had her in 1985 when I was a freshman. She was very sweet. I wish we could all try to be a little more like her. This world would be an awesome place.

I first met Dorothy Rose when it was her first year at Toms River School, her name then was Dorothy Roberts. She inspired me to pursue the arts and I eventually became a photographer. That was back in the late 40's or early 50's, and I have never regretted it, Thank You Dorothy (Roberts) Rose.

Mrs Rose...
You were my favorite art teacher at TRS. You inspired creativity, originality & to always give your best. I loved painting windows every year, an honor to be chosen. Your door was always open & were always there to listen, give advise & chat. My desire to pursue art as an occupation was born in your class.

Mrs. Rose you were the best art teacher I ever had I totally enjoyed every one of your classes and learned a lot from you I was in your class in 1962 and 63 rest in peace class of 1964

She taught me so much about drawing and having an artistic eye. Always to be remembered lovingly and with gratitude.

Dorothy Roberts Rose was the person that inspired my brother-in-law to choose his passion of being a artist for his entire life. David Boals has created many paintings and sculptures throughout his life. Unfortunately he past away last year at an early age in his 60's. Dorothy was his inspiration. We owe it all to her for all his fine creations. Condolences to all the family.
