Rose Begley Obituary
Rose Gay Patricia Begley, maiden name Given, passed away unexpectedly after 75 years of life.
Born on April 14, 1950 to Irene and William Given, she was known for her laughter, love of reading, puzzles, and crafts, and for her remarkable resourcefulness.
She was a loving mother who fostered strength, tenacity, and independence in her children, who will never forget her.
She is survived by her children Virginia Massey and Thomas Begley, grandchildren Bronson Begley, Greta Massey, and Charlotte Begley, as well as her siblings Thomas, Ken, and Joy Given. She was preceded in death by her parents William and Irene Given.
No service will be held, but we ask that you take a few moments to remember her and appreciate what she was able to give you in life as long as she was able.
