She was loved by everyone, and her generous, caring, and loving personality was transparent to everyone. She worked for Torr Metal for over 20 years before retiring. She enjoyed going to casinos with her husband, listening to gospel music, playing bingo, and lottery scratch offs. Most of all, Rosie loved spending time with her family and friends.
