Rosalie’s legacy flourishes in her grandchildren: Gerald III, Heather, Bridgette, Sarah, Quintin, Daniella, Brody, and Joseph; She also leaves behind five great-grandchildren. To each, she was a source of pride, encouragement, and unconditional love. Her home was always open, her arms always welcoming, and her wisdom a guiding light. Her deep love for her family was evident in every aspect of her life.
