Rose was one of my first clients when I finished beauty school. She stayed with me until 2011 when I moved from the Lancaster area. I was absolutely heart broken to learn of her passing. Rose always brought a smile with her when she’d come into the salon and would leave one with you when she left. We had lots of great talks through the years and some wonderful laughs also. I send all my love, thoughts and prayers to her kids and their families. I know your loss is great I’m so sorry. Rosie I’ll see you in heaven again one day. Love you 💗💗💗

Rosie was the best. We will miss her smile, laugh and hugs. She was a giving person, never selfish. She loved everyone. She was kind with a great sense of humor. Deepest sympathies to her family. We will miss her terribly.

To Nanny Rose’s family and extended family~
Sending prayers and good thoughts as we remember Nanny Rose. She touched many hearts in her life and meant a great deal to our family. We feel eternally blessed to call her Nan and she meant the world to us. Thank you for sharing her with us! God has a special place for her in Heaven and although that may bring comfort, we understand and feel heartbroken that she is no longer here with us. We will miss her smile, contagous laugh, but most of all her hugs!
All our love, Logan, Jen and Ron Brida

I don’t know where to begin to describe this wonderful woman. Even though she wasn’t blood related she still was Nanny Rose to me. I will miss her smile, always greeting me with a hug when I would see her. She always checked in on how I was doing as well as my family. You were truly loved and will be missed.
