Rosie worked as a Clothing Inspector, Library Assistant and Medical Office Assistant. She enjoyed reading, playing Solitaire and watching the Cincinnati Reds. Rosie moved to Greenville in the mid 1950’s in which she lived most of her adult life. In the 1990’s she moved to Oakwood to be closer to her family. During her years in Oakwood, she enjoyed going to her grandchildren’s events, spending time shopping and going out to eat with her twin sister, Elizabeth, volunteering at St. Albert the Great Church and cooking many spaghetti and meatball dinners’ for her family.

Christmas was always Rosie’s favorite holiday and for decades she would decorate her home, shop for the perfect gift for each family member and wrap each gift with her signature ribbon curling. Every Christmas Eve her family enjoyed her delicious spaghetti and meatballs and special Italian Christmas cookies. In her later years she loved to go for car rides with family, listening to her favorite crooners Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. Rosie was a member of St. Albert the Great Catholic Church and participated in the Rosary Altar Society.
