A woman of varied and spirited interests, she found pleasure in the thrill gambling provided, displaying her culinary expertise and decorating her home with gusto for every holiday. As a committed Lobos fan, she never missed watching a game and her doll collection was a testament to her eternal childlike wonder. Above all, Rosie’s life was dedicated to the happiness and contentment of others, ensuring nobody left her home without a full stomach and a lighter heart.
