Mom was a proud, vibrant, beautiful woman with a sharp mind and gentle heart.
She loved the beach, singing karaoke and ballroom dancing-she was always the “Belle of the Ball“. She loved to cook for family and friends. She loved life and knew how to have fun. She painted many beautiful pictures winning awards at the Everett art shows. She could fix just about anything! Mom was a truly unique and independent person with an indomitable spirit. She had many wonderful friends who all loved her. She was a shining star bursting with light that shone on all those around her. Now her light still shines in all of us from the gift of knowing and loving her. Losing her has left a big hole in our lives we will all miss her dearly.

Enjoy life like Rosie!
