Rose C. Madl

Rose C. Madl, 90, passed into eternal life in Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center to join her husband and son on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025. She started her afterlife journey peacefully, surrounded by her loving family and friends as the Lord came to call. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.

Born in Nanticoke, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Pearl Rembilas Tabbit. Rose was a graduate of St. Vincent's High School, Plymouth, and early in her life, worked for her parents with Tabbit's Market, Nanticoke. She also worked at the General Cigar Mill, Endicott Johnson Shoe Store and Gent J. Jacket Factory.

Rose was a member of St. Faustina Parish. She was very active in her church. She was the president of the Altar and Rosary Society and volunteered with various church functions.

Rose met the love of her life, George, at a square dance in Kunkle. She bowled in several leagues. She very much enjoyed spending Sundays with her loving husband at the polka dances at the VFW in Dupont. To commemorate her 60th wedding anniversary, Rose got a heart tattoo.
