Rose Ann enjoyed a long marriage to her high school sweetheart, Dave, that included children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. For her it was always about building family memories and traditions, new and old.
In her words, seeking new experiences and revisiting old interests were the focus of life. All of those experiences created lasting memories and relationships that became the circle of her life.
Whether it was planning the next big gathering, traveling, boating, enjoying the beach, attending the latest play or concert, gardening or reading, she was a teacher at heart, always wanting to learn new skills and challenge herself. In the end, these activities built the foundation of a strong family and friends circle, which was the core of who she was.
There are sad times, but in the measure of lifetime, the good times outweigh the bad.
