Condolences
I just learned that Ro passed away in March. Truly so very sad to hear this. Ro was a Jazzercise student of mine when I taught in Hilton. She was a beautiful soul who always had a smile on her face and brought joy wherever she went. My heartfelt condolences to all her family and friends. She truly was a beautiful gem in this world and sorely missed.
Dear family of Ro,
Please know how loved and respected Ro was in her Aurora House family. Her countless volunteer hours, wonderful sense of humor, and untiring work ethic were true gifts to this organization. She was, and is, well loved by all who knew her through Aurora. Thank you for sharing her with us, and please know you are all in our hearts at this time.

Rosemarie was a beautiful, giving person. I am thankful our lives crossed paths when she was a NICU Volunteer. As her supervisor, I know she did nothing less than give all her love not only to the patients/families but also to the staff. We will miss Ro & forever remember her in our hearts.
I have known Ro since her days at Park Ridge Hospital--she was a sweetheart and all loved her. In addition, she was a very faithful volunteer at Aurora House, where she will be missed. To her family--this is such a hard time for all of you, especially as you can't celebrate her properly at this time. Know that all of her friends are keeping you all in thoughts and prayers and look forward to publicly celebrating her life with you when possible! Peg Hurst
Sorry to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of my shifts spent with Ro when she volunteered in the NICU where I worked. She was a wonderful cuddler and her kind heart provided comfort to so many families and always a smile and kind friend to us nurses. She left a wonderful imprint on so many lives there. She will be missed. -Maureen Pettis
I am so very sorry to hear this news. I worked with Rosemarie at Golisano Children’s Hospital for many years. When she had to step down it was heartbreaking because she was so beloved by the nurses and her fellow Cuddlers. She was so sweet and tender with the NICU babies. She volunteered on Wednesdays 9-12 and I work the following shift. She was always so nice to me. Always interested in how I was. She had so much caring and compassion in her soul. She will be dearly missed. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family ❤️
A few years ago I told Aunt Ro she was my hero. Her attitude and strength impressed me at a time in my life when I needed it most she looked at me and said what do you mean? I said you know and she just grabbed me and hugged me so tightly. I presume that she help several people in the same way. A truly amazing person. She will be missed deeply. As much as I will miss her, I am happy that she suffers no more. Rest In Peace forever my dear Aunt.
You’re nephew in-law,
Jim
Ro and I have been friends for years. During our times together, she, Katy Ames and I volunteered for a "special" choir at St. John's for Easter. Practices were fun and interesting, despite our not being a particularly "great" choir. Love you always, my dear friend. Rest in peace with God. Nancy Williams
