She was born to the late Frank Caraballo and Margaret Dufour, September 4, 1927 in Key West, FL. Rosalie graduated in 1946 from Thomas Jefferson High School and continued her education later in life at Brewster Technical College in Tampa. After obtaining a degree in Cosmetology, Rosalie worked as a cosmetologist for over 25 years and at one point owned her own beauty salon.

Rosalie is survived by her loving husband Harold D. Pemberton, her daughter Kathryn L. Swain (Carol Gray), her sister Arleen Gowing, her stepdaughter Marsha Brawley (David), her granddaughter Kimberly Burdette (Ryan Bemis), and her two great grandchildren, Brinson and Allie Rae Burdette.

Rosalie loved ballroom dancing, cherubs, and butterflies. She became quite accomplished in China painting and was a member of the Florida World Organization of China Painters. Rosalie was a lifetime member of Weight Watchers and an active member of the local Kismet Club for many years.
