I had the wonderful pleasure of knowing Rosie for many years . My favorite memory of Rosie was when I thanked her for raising my best friend ….. she thought that was so funny and brought it up almost every time I saw her after .☺️ Rosie was fun, affectionate and very easy to talk to . She will be deeply missed . I can’t wait to have a glass ( or 2😉) of champagne with her in the new world . Rest up Rosie ❤️

GOD REST HER SOUL…KEEP SMILING.
Rosie was a very beautiful spiritual sister, her affectionate character was genuine and sincere , her beauty was not just on the outside, but also deep within.
She always displayed a calm Christian personality .
We look forward to welcoming her back shortly to the real life , where she will never get sick or grow old.
May Jehovah provide comfort for all her daughters and grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Rosie was a wonderful friend. She always made us laugh. I miss her so much but im happy she is not in pain. I am looking forward to seeing her in the new system. Her love for Jehovah was so deep and sincere. She was a wonderful witness ,she talked to everyone no matter where we were.
There truly aren’t words big enough to express how deeply you are missed, Rosie. You brought so much light, life, and love into every space you touched. You were amazing, vibrant, wonderfully warm, and so deeply loved.
Thank you for bringing me and Julius together! ❤️
We are endlessly grateful to you.
We hold on to the thought of all the laughter, the mischief, and wine drinking! Looking forward to a life time of these moments!
Forever in our hearts! Love

To my Grams,
I’m so grateful I got to have you for 50 years of my life. Thank you for being my safe place and loving me through every season of my life.
Though I had to watch you leave this world, I choose to remember you as you truly were — faithful, kind, and full of light. I find comfort in believing you are at peace now, and that one day we will speak again.
Until then, I will carry you in my heart.
Goodbye for now, Grams. I love you always.
Gina
Oh Rosie,
Sleep well until Jehovah wakes you in the New World. We will have the best Tea Party then. 💜
Rose was a very special friend to my mother in law, Dorothy Doherty-Hill… even though Dorothy has been gone 10 years…I can never forget how happy my mother in law was to see Rose! Their friendship was truly unique… can’t wait to see them together in the paradise Jehovah has promised! (Rev.21: 3&4) Love, prayers and hugs from my family to yours..
Rosie, You welcomed me into your life over 30 years ago as Gina’s friend. You had a kindness that made me feel at home. At the same time, you had that special way of keeping us in line — haha!
The lessons you taught, the comfort you gave, and the love you shared will stay with me forever. Much love, Nicole
Rosie, you were such a warm and loving person, your smile and laugh lit up the room and you always lifted my spirits, your beautiful daughters babysat my children when I was in dire need. Can’t wait to see you again in the new world and hear you and your best girlfriends giggling and joking together again..My hugs and prayers to the whole Hartman Family…
Rose has a special place in our hearts! We had the joy of being with her in Holmesburg and Pennypack Park congregations. Her love for Jehovah and her upbeat spirit was contagious! Loved her laugh!! We so appreciated her help in caring for our Mom Thelma. She was always there for us and was a real friend. Looking forward to having another glass of wine with her real soon!! She is in the safest place… in Jehovah’s loving memory. Sending much love and deepest sympathy to her family.

Rosie was like a second mother to me growing up. The many years of memories spent with Rosie and her family are so very special to me. I hold these many memories close to my heart. My deepest sympathies for the family.
Rosie was such a special person—warm, sweet, and naturally welcoming. I’m not the only one who felt that way others told me so. She had a way of making everyone around her feel valued. I’ll always cherish our chats and the way her vibrant, spunky energy could instantly put a smile on my face.
She will be deeply missed, and I look forward to seeing her again on a Paradise earth. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
