Born in Orange, NJ, Rose Mary lived in Pocono Mountain, PA, Olive Branch, MS, and San Diego, CA, before retiring 6 years ago. She worked as a hairdresser, receptionist, and insurance agent. Rose Mary enjoyed life and her retirement. She loved adventure traveling with Jude but her most memorable and favorite was their cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. While living in Leisure Village West, she was a member of the Westernaires and the RV Club. Rose Mary loved all animals, but what she loved the most was her time spent with her grandchildren, all three of whom she adored. Rose Mary had that special presence about her. Her laugh and smile brightened up the whole room. To know her was to lover her.

There could be no greater love then the love shared by Rose Mary and Jude. The love and support showed by family, friends and the LVW community has been overwhelming.
