“Rose was a devoted mother of seven and friend to many. Her husband died in 1942 leaving her a widow for 60 years with the responsibility of raising her seven children by herself. She worked at various jobs (besides being a homemaker) in raising of her seven children. The job she enjoyed the most was working as a waitress at Mickies Dairy Bar on Monroe Street in Madison for many years. She will always live in the hearts and minds of those she left behind. We do know that she is already in a hot game of cards (Eucher/500) with her sisters. You will be missed very much, but we will all meet again someday.”
