I am heartbroken at the loss of my dear friend and college roommate, Roseann. What a beautiful person. I will fondly remember our long talks over coffee, her impersonations of anyone who deserved to be mimicked, the way she made me laugh. She ended every one of our phone calls, texts, and conversations with the same phrase, "Love ta love ya, baby!" Can't imagine this world without her.

I knew Rosie at PA Stage Company and when I was doing theatre at The Theatre Outlet, she was a fixture in the whole theatre community. She was beautiful, smart, funny as anything and always warm and full of grace. I was lucky enough to keep up with her over FB over the years. She was wonderful.

I am so saddened to hear this. I met Rosie during the inaugural season of The Penn. Shakespeare Festival at DeSales in 1992. She was always sweet and kind, interesting and engaging, even on Facebook! Condolences to all whose lives she touched. Rest in eternal Peace, Rosie.

I am so sad to hear of Roseann's passing. She was such a wonderful face for the Theatre Program at DeSales...supportive, kind, welcoming. A lovely, lovely, human being. My sincere condolences to all of the family and friends. May her life shine through all of you.
