It is with great sadness that we say good bye to Rose Eklund. The family is happy that she lived a full and successful life, passing at the age of 93. Rose was born to Italian immigrants, the 4th of a family of 6 children and the first of 3 girls. Raised in Brooklyn, NY, Rose met and married John, a handsome, quiet and gentle man who had recently arrived in Brooklyn from Montana. Together they had 4 children, 7 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren!
Rose was a Special Assistant and Bank Manager for State Bank of Long Island for over 20 years. She loved her family, work, and home. She loved to travel around the United States and had a wonderful tour of Italy with her daughters Karen, Diane and sister Rita.
Rose spent her last days surrounded by her daughters Karen, Diane and family, her sons Richard and Allan, both were able to say goodbye via speaker phone. As soon as Rose heard everyone’s voice, and some Frank Sinatra playing softly she left us to join the other angels in heaven.
Rose you lived, loved and were loved, you will be missed here on earth, but we will always know you will be looking down on us from heaven.
