Rose’s passion for cooking, especially baking, was admired by many. Her long career with LCISD food service, primarily as a pastry cook, was marked by her delicious yeast rolls and cinnamon rolls, often featured at district banquets and fundraisers. Her love for the culinary arts brought joy to many.

In addition to her culinary talents, Rose had a profound appreciation for nature and animals, often tending to stray animals and ensuring they quickly found a loving home. Her love for the outdoors and the tranquility it brought her were evident.

Above all, Rose was a devoted daughter, wife, and mother. Her dedication to her family and the love she shared with them were tremendous.

In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor Rose’s memory are encouraged to make a donation to the Veteran’s organization of their choice. Expressions of remembrance and condolences are welcome and may be left for the family at www. davisgreenlawnfh.com.
