Rosemarie was the chairperson for the annual Polish Country Fair at The Little Servant Sisters of the Immaculate Conception in Cherry Hill, NJ for nearly 15 years. Rose mostly enjoyed celebrating family occasions. In fact, as she lay in her hospital bed she made plans for the Easter dinner she wanted to host when she returned home. She enjoyed going out to the casinos with her husband and just having a good time. Even though she worked outside the home, Rose could be found making clothing for her seven children. She enjoyed making Wedding, Christening and First Holy Communion dresses for friends and family. She was an excellent cook and hosted Polish food making classes in her kitchen, recently teaching how to make pierogis. Everyone who came in at dinnertime was persuaded to eat. Rose will be remembered fondly by many for generations to come.
