Condolence: Me and My Husband, Adam would like to send our deepest condolences to Rose's family and friends for this sudden loss. I worked with Rose very closely in the last couple years, as we battled together to continuously improve Ford's engine quality. Rose took so much pride in her work and her loyalty and dedication to the company was unmeasurable. I will miss Rose, as she was always a delight, even in the tough times when we were working long hours, days, weeks to succeed in work projects. Rose was an excellent engineer, a great team player, but most importantly a great person. I hope she knows how much I was praying for her fight in these last few months. Rose will be truly missed around GEE, and we were all lucky to have had her on our team.

Condolence: Rose was ALWAYS a glowing and happy spirit whenever she walked into the room. I was the house photographer at POEE building at Ford. She would bring engine parts for me to photograph in the studio. She was the type of person that was nice to be around...very kind and thoughtful, and never hurried. I will miss her.

Condolence: I worked with Rose at Ford for many years. Rose was not just a very good engineer, she was also a great person! She and I shared stories of growing up with Dads who were engineers. She talked about getting samples of Post-It Notes that her dad brought home from 3M, while I got Ziploc Bag samples my dad had brought home from Dow. We mused that we were probably both involved in DV testing (design validation) of future products while still in grade school or junior high! It was also clear Rose cared a great deal about her family and loved all of her nieces and nephews. We compared the cumulative number of years experience as Aunts that we each had, which I think she had more of at the time. I recall her laughing about her own "rebellious streak" when she allowed a visiting niece to not tuck her shirt into her jeans if she didn't want to! I loved the time I got to work with her and will miss her.

Condolence: I was very sad to hear of the passing of Rose. I worked with Rose in Engine at Ford for a number of years. She was definitely the #1 Gopher fan in the state of Michigan! Every time Minnesota played "Sconnie" in football or hockey I definitely got an earful. Maybe Goldie will win an Axe in her honor this year. I am also grateful to Rose for recommending an excellent Vetrinarian for my lab. I'm sure her fur babies are missing her greatly right now. Finally I am reminded of Rose's generosity when helping our colleague Rob Sheptack in his final battle with cancer, organizing team lunch visits to cheer him up. She reflected that Rob's final ride was almost in a Cadillac, and that just wasn't right for a lifetime Ford person. I trust that Rose's family will make sure her last ride is in a Ford, preferably an F-150.

Condolence: Hello. I'm just one of the folks Rose has worked with here at Ford during her long and successful career. Rose was an absolute joy to work with and I miss her.
