Rose Gregory Obituary

WESTERLY - Rose M. Gregory, 96, of Post Road, Westerly, passed away at Apple Rehab Clipper on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. She was the wife of the late Kenneth R. Gregory, Sr.

A woman of profound faith, gentle strength, and enduring grace, Rose lived a life rooted in prayer, compassion and devotion to her family and to God. A devout Catholic, Rose found daily comfort and peace in praying the Rosary, a sacred ritual that guided her through lifes joys and challenges. Her faith was not merely spoken, but lived in her kindness to others, her quiet wisdom, and her unwavering trust in Gods plan. She was a light to all that knew her. One of her greatest joys was visiting Enders Island, a spiritual haven that held a special place in her heart, whether walking the peaceful grounds or simply sitting in prayerful reflection. Her time there with her son, Ken, brought her peace and purpose.

Rose worked as an Office Manager for The Moore Company for many years and was a devout communicant of Immaculate Conception Church.

Roses family was the most important facet of her life, and she lovingly devoted herself to them.

She will be dearly missed by her son Kenneth R. Gregory (Teresa) of Wakefield, RI; two grandchildren, Dylan Gregory and Karly Gregory; great-granddaughter Isabella Rose Gregory; and several nieces and nephews. Rose was predeceased by her parents and eight siblings.

Visiting hours are omitted. A Funeral Service will be held at 11am on Tuesday, June 24th at Gaffney-Dolan Funeral Home, 59 Spruce St., Westerly. Burial at St. Sebastian Cemetery, Westerly will follow. For online condolences please visit www.gaffneydolanfuneralhome.com
