So saddened to hear of Aunt Mary Rose’s passing.  So many wonderful memories of her loving and caring ways, that incredible energy, her constant smiles and her ability to bring happiness to anyone who knew her!  So lucky to have had Aunt Mary Rose, Uncle Johnny and the entire Trauger family in my life!  RIP, Aunt Mary Rose!  Luv you always.

You have told us about the humor and life of your mom many times. From what we can tell, you are a lot like your mom.

We would have loved to know Mary.     So sorry for your loss, Pat.     She reminds us of Charlotte’s Aunt Bessie..one of the first nurses on Saipan in WW II.     It is no wonder Mary Jo and Patty held her in such high regard.     Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your mom.       With love, Charlotte and Bill Zilm

Dear Pat,
We send our condolences to you, your sisters and brother, and your extended family on the passing of your mom.                                        She must have been a great lady of character, affection, and love of life as these traits are reflected in her daughter.

My mother, Doris Hufford, was a “tablemate” and friend of Mary Rose at Evergreen Estates.  Mom enjoyed her friendship and will miss her. I got to meet Mary Rose during my trips to visit Mom.  She ALWAYS had a smile on her face.   Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time.

To Mary Rose’s family, 
I’d like to say it was a pleasure and a joy to meet and serve Mary Rose in the dining room at Evergreen Estates.  Mary Rose was a sweetheart, always a smile and lots of joking and banter with John Finger in the morning.  I’m smiling right now because I know how happy she must be, with her loved ones in heaven.  She fought well with her physical struggles during her stay at Evergreen Estates, always positive!  I remember how excited she was when she returned from her fishing outings, showing everyone her photo’s.  And may we all say God Bless to this wonderful US Veteran, a true pioneer.  I wish I could be at St. Mary’s for her celebration of a life lived well, she touch many lives.  I’ll be thinking of you Mary Rose!
Sincerely,  
Karen Holmes (former Kitchen Manager at Evergreen Estates Retirement Community)
