    Rose was a great lady. I worked with her at the Certification Bureau, she taught me a great deal. Loved playing Bocce ball with her. I hope she finds a Squirrel Nutcracker in heaven.

    I had the truly great pleasure of knowing Rose for over 30 years. I never heard an unkind word from her about anyone. She had a great sense of humor, a distinct laugh and always a twinkle in her eye. I will miss her.

    I knew Rose as a co-worker who became a treasured friend. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a kind and compassionate heart. All of us who knew her will miss her presence in our lives.

    I will remember Roseline as a fun, slightly mischievous, aunt who loved her nieces and nephews. She had a distinctive laugh and a warm heart. A role model for aunts (and uncles) everywhere. We lost a great lady.

    Roseline will be in our prayers. Growing up and going to school in the country will always be remembered. She was one tough cookie. May she rest in peace.

    So sorry to hear about Rose’s passing. I was the head nurse of the floor she worked on at St. Peter’s Hospital. I always thought she was a great nurse and I enjoyed working with her. I even talked to her a few times when she worked for the State. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

    Rose fought a valiant battle and was not one to complain. I worked with Rose when we were both with DPHHS and learned every so much. She will be missed and may God bless her friends and family.

    I have many fond memories of my Aunt Roseline when I was growing up in Montana. I remember how nice it was when she would come to my high school track meets in Helena to cheer me on and talk. She truly had a kind and caring way about her that was always present. Roseline was a wonderful aunt that I will always remember with a smile.

    I had the opportunity to work with Rose when she was getting cars from the Motor Pool. She is going to be greatly missed by all.
