Rosalie worked numerous jobs throughout her lifetime. She was last employed as an admitting clerk in the emergency room at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center in Ogdensburg where she retired many years ago.  Rosalie enjoyed doing the daily crossword puzzle and Jumble, gardening and watching Dancing with the Stars. She loved parades and fireworks and always looked forward to the annual Seaway Festival event, including the Battle of the Bands competition.

Rosalie’s door was always open to family and friends and a visit often resulted in a home cooked meal.
