d/o Catherine (Bird) and Frank Parker; w/o John J. Rose
Kay, the youngest girl of ten children, was affectionately cared for by her older siblings when her father died at a young age. She was married to the love of her life, the late John J. Rose, on May 24, 1947 at Holy Name of Jesus Church, where she wore a wedding dress which was hand-sewn by her sisters.
She was known for her green thumb and lush garden beds around the pool in Stamford and raised beds at Carriage Green, aka the "Retirement Castle". She had the ability to nurse any plant back to life! Kay loved to cook and bake, especially Italian and Polish food. Her family loved her pizza frittas, the elaborate cakes she made for grandkids' birthdays, and her legendary gingerbread village, which was eaten by the family dog during Christmas Eve mass. Her love for her family was immense- she always had everyone's favorite snack on hand and even bought Cabbage Patch Kids off the back of a truck during the craze! Kay was an avid bowler and golfer, and was a two-time Sterling Farms 9-hole club champion. Her passion for life and love of her family was limitless.
She is survived by two daughters; grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, John J. Rose; her brothers, Frank, Charles, Stanley and Robert Parker; her sisters, Anne Larson, Mary Mitchell, Violet Guzda, Dorothy Miller, and Jeanne Harvey; and grandson, Christopher Scott Fuller.
