               She led a full and productive life. After marrying Clyde and moving to Akron, Oh she worked as a real “Rosie the Riveter” during WWII. She and Clyde lived in Pa, Va, and finally settled in Cadiz where she would spend most of her life and lived in the same house for 62 years. Rose was an amazing seamstress and could also crochet and knit. She has huge gardens, always full of beautiful flowers, she was one talented lady. One that was always ready to welcome you and fed you well. She and Clyde were avid square dancers and belonged to “Dip & Dive” Square Dance Club. The couple traveled extensively in the USA in their motorhome visiting most every state. I hope you all treasure your memories of our mother. Share them so she may not be forgotten.
