Rose Impallaria

I worked with Rose at USIA office of security in late 1960s. A lovely lady. We went to concerts down by the Potomac. Just tried to find her. Sorry to hear of her passing. A very kind person.

As most, if not all of her nieces and nephews, would tell you, our aunt Rose was their favorite. Our Aunt Rose was a very extraordinary person. Her ability to connect with people was one of her many remarkable traits. One outcome of this ability was that she was always able to make friends wherever she went.
As an atheist/humanist, she had no fear or concern with heaven or hell and knew that her priority was towards her fellow human beings. She had deep concern, compassion and warmth...

I worked with Rose in the Security Office of USIA in the 1970's. We got along wonderfully. I have always kept in touch with her at Christmas. When she worked for the Kennedy Center I told her that I was going to join one of her tours and embarrass her. She was always waiting for that visit. Our hearts are saden here on earth, but God must be very happy having such a wonderful person live in His house.
