Rosie’s family was her greatest treasure. She will always be remembered for baking everyone their favorite dessert for their birthdays and filling the holiday desert table with a variety of delicious sweets. Besides cooking, Rosie loved fishing, her fill in word books and working in her flowers. When you were in the car with her, you never knew when she might pull over to dig up some flower variety she didn’t currently have in her collection, and she was always willing to share them with others. Rosie was also a dedicated member of the Hesler Assembly of God Church and was devoted to her faith. During her idle time, Rosie enjoyed playing games on her tablet and watching old westerns and murder mysteries.
