A devoted mother and grandmother, Rose centered her life around her family. With her quiet, yet stern manner, she instilled in them the importance of family, hard work, and to always be respectful of others.
She lived her life with great independence, and leaves a legacy of strength, elegance, and generosity for her family who were as equally as devoted to her as she to them.

Ross, Jr., and his wife, Cynthia of Plainville; her grandchildren, John Ross and his wife, Paige, Janet Vidal and her husband, Christopher, Scott Ross and his wife, Dana, and Jodi York and her husband Ronald; her great-grandchildren, Zachary Watkins, James Ross, Joseph York, Kyle Ross, Brianna and Clint York; all who brought her the greatest amount of joy; her sister, Janet Sorensen; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her son-in-law, Joseph Watkins; her brothers, James, Raymond, Charles, and Joseph Sorensen, and her sister, Rita Zagurski.
The family extends their deepest appreciation to the staff in Annex at Plainville Health Care Center, and her dear friend and hairdresser, Henry, for their support and compassionate care.
