Rosalie Cole Obituary
Born Rosalie Grubb Haynes in Cape May, N.J., in 1915, she graduated from the Agnes Irwin School in Philadelphia, studied at La Sorbonne in Paris, France and at the French Fashion School of Design in New York City. She spent a great deal of her youth in Lancaster, Pa., where her ancestors had developed the Cornwall Ore Mines, one of the largest deposits of iron in the eastern United States.
As an adult, she served as a docent at many museums, including the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, The Denver Art Museum and most recently, The Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme.
She was married to Harrison Wells Cole in 1953 and is survived by her daughter, Beverly Cole Costello, son-in-law, Ned Bolton Costello and her grandchildren, Blair Bolton Costello and Owen Cole Costello.
A Memorial Service will be held at St. Ann's Church in Old Lyme on Nov. 29, 2007 at 11 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to St. Ann's Episcopal Church Outreach Program, 82 Shore Road, Old Lyme, CT 06371 (860) 434-1621.

Bev: Your mom was the most gracious of them all. I once asked her how she got that way. She gave me her usual answer to everything, that glorious calm smile like a sunset over the Pacific. It said everything anyone needed to know. And without words, that could include what I didn't necessarily want to know. You don't get that way. Just born that way. She was a gorgeous classic and I'll miss her. Lots of love, Kate

I was sorry to read of your mother's passing. Although it's been many years since she was our neighbor, I remember her well and recall fun times skating together on the pond. So sorry for your loss, Beverly.
