Rosalie was a loving and supportive mother who gave her all to her children and everyone she knew. Her door was always open to anyone. She always made sure her children had whatever they needed no matter what. Rosalie used to say this: Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but the number that takes your breath away. She will be remembered as a loving, caring and big-hearted person to all she touched and a mother who loved her children to the moon and back.
Calling hours will be held at the McHoul Funeral Home, Inc., 895 Route 82, Hopewell Junction on Saturday, September 7, 2024 from 11am – 2pm with a service beginning at 2pm.
