As a child Rose found the love of her life Ralph living just across the street whom she went on to marry, creating their greatest treasure of all, her family.

Rose’s legacy lives on in her children: Deborah and Douglas Szal, Vincent Cipolla, and Rosina and Andrew Apicella; and her loving grandchildren: Deborah, Joseph, Jade, Vincent, and Andrew. Her great grandchildren: Makyla, Paul, Joey, Anthony, and Coral.
