What a wonderful lady who deserves the rewards of living a righteous and inspiring life. The reward is to life everlasting with those she dearly missed and departed before her. Most of you who will read this should cherish every moment that you spent with Grandma Rose and remember that somewhere in the deep recesses of your genetic makeup is the wonderful person that you should be and each and every day of the rest of your life you must work to develop and nurture that behavior that made her a great participant in this life. May GOD bless you all and comfort you.

Wow I'm so saddened to hear this. . My great grandma rose..I have tried to find you for many years so you could meet your 3 great great grandchildren from me. ..I still remember awwing over the picture you always kept up of the huge fish you caught! I never stopped loving you, until we meet again. ..

I am so honored and blessed that I am the great grand-daughter of such an amazing woman. My children are so lucky to have all met you and been able to feel your love. I love you gram. I will miss your beautiful face every time I visit California.

My dear, sweet, beautiful great grandmother I miss you so much! All the conversations we had and all the memories we made while you were here. All the times we would 
visit you when I was a child playing in the tree in your backyard, going on walks with your dog pepe'. I couldn't wait to go on a walk with you just to spend alone time with my grandma. In your last few years I got to see you and spend so much time with you. Every Monday I would come spend the day with you and we would talk and drink coffee. You had so many stories I will cherish. I will miss your laugh and holding your hand. I will miss you more than you will ever know my grandma! I love you forever! Love Nikki.? P.S. I got you babe!

Gram you will always be in my heart. I know you are in heaven and I know you are surrounded by so much love     you have a special place with our Father in heaven because you were an angel on earth to everyone. I love and miss you so much. Until we meet again. Your Missy

We are so sorry for all of Roses' family.  She will e greatly missed. You are all in our prayers. Rik & Sue Pinaglia

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.


I feel privileged to have met Rose once when I accompanied her sister-in-law Mary Ellen on a long awaited visit. Mary had told me much about her and meeting Rose proved that all I'd heard was true. She was a beautiful lady and an inspiration, especially to one as old as I.  It saddens me to hear that she has passed.  I was praying she would make it to 103; and well, she nearly did! Her beloved family contributed to her longevity and happiness. The picture of Rose on the 4th of July 2014 shows the kind of spirit she had.  It's a pity to lose a rose like her from the garden.  Rest in peace Rose, you are well remembered. 
And, God Bless her family.

To the family of Rose Tillotson, my dear sister-in-law. She will be missed. My brother Byron was blessed to have shared his life with Rose. She gave him her unwavering and eternal love. Rose was a genteel lady with a giving and forgiving heart. Now she will rest in peace with her beloved husband, son and daughter. My prayers are with the family as I know their hearts are aching; but rejoice knowing you gave her love and happiness in her declining years. She is with God. I send you my love.
Mary Ellen Tillotson Bromfield

Mother loved you dearly and spoke of you weekly (Margaret Williams) Now you can visit together in Heaven and have peace with the rest of the family waiting for you.

To the wonderful family of my Sweet Aunt Rose, so many years of her coming to the ranch and visiting with Mother (Margaret Williams) and all those cups of coffee. I can remember so well when she and Rosalie and Skip would come out with that first baby boy Mike, and how proud they all were. After that Aunt Rose became a Grandmother many times of one more boy and many girls. I want the family to know I am praying for their well being and healing to come quickly. What a wonderful life 102 years old, God Bless Her.

Your niece, Katherine Jane Williamson

I felt honored to know Rose.  She always had a smile on her face and she lit up the room with her charm and warmth.  She will be missed.

To the family of Rose Tillotson, my dear sister-in-law. She will be missed by all. My brother, Byron, was blessed to have shared his life with Rose. She gave him her unwavering and eternal love. Rose was a genteel lady with a giving and forgiving heart. Now she will rest in peace with her beloved husband son and daughter.  My prayers are with the family as I know their hearts are aching; but, rejoice knowing you gave her love and happiness in her declining years.  She is with God.
I send you my love. 
Mary Ellen Tillotson Bromfield
