Rosalie Kunert

Rose (as she was called by her children) was an amazing woman. She used to cut my hair in the back room or her house that she set up as a quasi barbershop. I can remember getting rides home on Kenneth Blvd. from her sitting on the down tailgate of her station wagon. The car was filled to the brim with whomever could fit in. Doc, if you ever read this please get ahold of me to catch up.

Rosie was a wonderful example of a woman who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons. She worked hard and laughed loud. I will always remember her smiling and loving life. She was and will forever be an inspiration to those who knew her. Rosie has left her mark in this world with her tenacious spirit and love for her family. She will truly be missed!

My condolences to the famiy of Rosalie Kunert - what an outstanding example of womanhood!!! My brother Brian and I went to school with her daughter Karen and son Bob and we had no idea of her legacy but we certainly honor her and others of the "Greatest Generation". What an era - there will never be another like it!

Sincerely,

We salute you Rosie as an example to women everywhere of out ability to independantly meet our needs while assisting others in meeting theirs!

there aren't words to express my saddness at hearing of her passing... women like her are the reason i can go to law school and work in a prviously 'male dominated' field

my thoughts and prayers to her friends, family and other loved ones

Thanks Rosie for your courage, patriotism and enduring spirit! You will never be forgotten and will always be an inspiration to me!

Rosie the Riveter was one of the most memorable documentary films that I had the privilege of watching when I was a film student in the 80's at Cal State Northridge.

A must see film for all americans.

I did not recall there was more than one original Rosie, thanks for sharing that information.
