During her years in Shrewsbury, Rose was a very active member of the community having spent many years volunteering for such things as The Spirt of Shrewsbury and the Senior Center. She moved to Notre Dame du Lac Community at the age of 93. Auntie Rose, as she liked to be called spent three wonderful years at Notre Dame du Lac enjoying in all the activities and social events.
Rose’s family would like to let the wonderful staff and Nuns at Notre Dame du Lac know that Rose’s life was complete and fulfilled in many joyous ways during her stay there. They were Rose’s best years and her beautiful journey ended where she called home.
