Mary Rose was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. As a proud 1959 graduate of Fox Tech High School, she went on to pursue a hardworking and profound career as a licensed vocational nurse and operating room technician for over 35 years with the Baptist Health System hospitals. Her strong and strict work ethic never went unnoticed by her team of nurses and many recognized her as the best. As a parishioner of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, Mary Rose would often participate in events such as their annual festival helping make delicious hamburgers for the public to enjoy.  She had an artistic side and put her talents for art into many craft projects for everyone to enjoy.  Mary Rose had a special place in her heart for her adoring grandchildren and treasured every moment spent with them. She will be missed dearly by everyone that knew and loved her.

The family of Mary Rose would like to acknowledge their appreciation to the wonderful staff of Embrace Hospice for their sincere care, help and support.
