“Pretty Rose” was a crusader of women’s rights long before it was fashionable to do so. She led her life with few regrets, speaking her mind with nary a filter. She was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a role model, a marine mechanic, a mathematician, a hostess, and a sage—always with a point of view. Most importantly, she was a writer, and Rose would like you to know her novel, Runaway, is available on Amazon.
Rose was preceded in death by her husband Gerald G. Epstein. She is survived by her daughters, Nancy Owen and her husband Charles of Rehoboth, Sharon and her husband Don Rhodes of Providence and Debra Hughes and her husband Aaron of Dover, MA; her son, Matthew Epstein and his wife Jeanette of Dighton; her grandchildren, Audrey and Bridget Hughes, Jason, Daniel and Rian Owen and Lindsey and Jessica Epstein; and great-grandchildren, Emma, Lila, William, Henry and Braydon.
