Rose was among the first people I met when I arrived in Raymond many years ago. Always so responsible; she did lab, X-ray and more in the clinic and later in the hospital. She was unflappable, always calm, always with a quiet smile. I knew things were done well. What wonderful memories now rest with her family.

Love and prayers for comfort and peace for each of Rose’s loved ones! She was a devoted mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, health care worker and friend to those in her sphere of influence! Her twinkling smile, positive attitude and kindness made the world a better place. I feel to grateful to have been blessed to know and love her.
