Rose Marie was a member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church. She loved gardens and flowers and spent many hours tending hers and those of others. She was a sports enthusiast and could be heard cheering for her favorite teams. She was a beautiful, caring person who gave so much love and attention to others. She leaves us with wonderful memories.
The family would like to thank Father Michael Foley, Dr. Michael Forsthoefl , the exceptional staff at St. Augustine Plantation Assisted Living and Memory Care, and Big Bend Hospice for all of their prayers and kindnesses.
A memorial service will be held in Tampa, Florida at a later time. In lieu of flowers, please remember Rose Marie by enjoying the flowers and plants near your home.
