Rosalie Nancy Murphy passed to blessed eternal peace, surrounded by loving family on March 24, 2024. Rosalie aka Rose, Rosie, Gypsy Rose was 85 years old. Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI, the daughter of the late Dennis Murphy and Hazel (Elmer) Murphy. Rose was united in marriage to Anthony Gasperetti in March of 1967. They spent 57 years together, not a day or night without one another, she cherished the time spent with her husband. Family meant everything to Rosie, she was vivacious and loved spending time with family members, she was the heartbeat of our get togethers. She loved animals, her dogs, and everyone else’s dogs. Rosie loved the beauty of nature and surrounded herself with animal décor, and donned herself each day with animal print, which was always fun to see.
Rosie is now deeply missed by those she leaves behind, her cherished husband Tony, children: Debbie (Jeff) Gabert, Burton (Sue) Hooser, Jeffrey (Kathy) Hooser; her six grandchildren, Nicholas, Heather, Patty, Burtie, Tiffany, and Gina; her favorite sisters Joan Sabourin, Sharon (Bill) Heyden. Along with great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
A private family gathering will be held at a later date.
