She will also be dearly missed by her lifelong neighbors and close friends Colleen Mullis and Juanita Cyr, and by all her card playing lady friends. In addition to her parents and husband, Rose was predeceased by three brothers and seven sisters.
Graveside services will be held in the springtime at Millinocket Cemetery. Those who wish to remember Rose in a special way may make gifts in her memory to St. Martin’s Food Pantry and Fuel Assistance. Arrangements are by Lamson Funeral Home, Millinocket.
