Rose E. Foerster

Mrs. Foerster was such a positive role model. Her influence contributed to form a gentle side that helped me through out my life. I remember when she was the substitute teacher for Sr. Norma at St. Gregory´s second grade and she was teaching us to sing `Holy, Holy, Holy´ - never forget it. Also recall later when I was working at Reed Homes and Karl would invite me to his house for lunch - even though I had my own lunch she would always offer something more. A lot of great memories....

My mom, Claire Dorsch and Rosie were great friends. I remember when I was very young how Rosie would come out to our house on Saturday evening and style my mom´s hair at the kitchen table for Sunday morning Mass. She would tease it so that I thought mom looked like a witch and then style it into a beautiful bee hive, laughing together all the while! Then Sunday morning they would sing in the choir together!

What we are all called to do, Aunt Rosie did. Always engaging, encouraging and full of life, she was the embodiment of joy. The intensity of her faith was reflected in the seemingly ease with which she carried out her mission among us all. Though this prayer giant is no longer with us on earth, she is now where she truly belongs in heaven.

This story goes way back. St Gregory was having a casino night and ask the 1st and 2 nd. mothers to take can can lessons from Theasa Redmond dance studio for entainment.we practiced for weeks in an empty hall . The big night came could not hear the music people in front and behind us. Rose s shoe flew off her foot.she did not miss a beat .it was a fun night I always admired her spirit. May she rest in peace and continue to sing in heaven.

Ray and I are sending our deepest condolences Rose was our neighbor in Cranberry and from day one became our dearest friend, so kind, caring and very generous to us and those around us. We became friends with her family, we loved the love they all had for her and each other which told the truth of her heartfelt love for them and others that got the pleasure of knowing her God definitely has gained an amazing angel RIP our sweet friend
