Charissa, Ryan, Nathan, Andrew and Abbie, and great grandmother to Carson, due in June. She died peacefully surrounded by her family.

Rosie was employed at McDonald’s for 33 years and was known by many for her daily caring and friendly attitude. She was a Kentucky Colonel and loved traveling with her family, especially camping with her kids when they were young and traveling with her husband to Germany, where her parents were born. She treasured visits with her grandchildren, who were clearly the joy of her life. She also enjoyed quiet pleasures, like watching the birds in her backyard, working crossword puzzles with her husband, Tom, or regularly watching the Reds and Bengals. She knew no strangers. Anyone she met became a friend. Her faith filled her life. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. The world is a bit better because of her.
