Rose attended St. Mary’s School, where she met her future husband, Jerry, in the first grade. She was a 1945 graduate of Warren G. Harding High School and attended Kent State University for two years.

She began her career as an assistant bookkeeper for the Warren Tribune — a position which she held for 10 years. She was the school secretary at Turner Junior High School, retiring after 20 years of service. Rose also enjoyed serving as a poll worker for the Trumbull County Board of Elections.

She was also a lifelong active member of St. Mary’s Church in Warren.

Rose enjoyed attending the Trumbull County Town Hall Lecture Series, Warren Civic Music, the W. D. Packard Concert Series and Animal Welfare League events.

Rose had many passions throughout her life. She enjoyed cooking, attending Broadway shows, doing word search puzzles and going on vacations with her family for 28 years to Ocean City, Md.

Rose will always be remembered for her beautiful penmanship and loved writing cards and letters to her family and friends. She was a shining example of strength and perseverance.

She leaves behind to hold onto her precious memories her two daughters, Barbara Guliano and Nancy Ruggieri, both of Warren; and two grandchildren, Michael Jerome and Megan Rose (fiance, Kyle Bryan) Guliano.

Her husband, Jerry J. Ruggieri, whom she married Sept. 6, 1948, died Jan. 27, 2008. Besides her parents and husband, Rose was preceded in death by her grandson, Patrick Guliano Jr.
