Rose and Dave began their 49-year adventure of life serving with the USAF. Their first home was at Mather AFB California and then Bitburg Air Base Germany. Rose and Dave proudly supported and served our country and community for many years. Rose and Dave’s special daughter Christy Ann was a blessing to them. Dave and Rose eventually settled in Kaysville. Rose’s beautiful daughters Heidi and Annalisa are a reflection of her sweet spirit and inter-beauty and will carry on her legacy.  Rose loved her grandchildren! She only wished she could have spoiled them more, and been able to support them on their way through life. Rose had many talents; sewing, crocheting, and she loved art and oil painting. Rose held many jobs during her life. Waitress at Bratten’s Gotto Ogden, Office Manager at Hammon Cabinet Layton and she retired as a IRS Tax Examiner in Ogden.
