After they married, they lived in MA and NY before settling in RI, spending many years in Barrington raising their family.

Rose loved to sew, as evidenced by her daughters attending early elementary school in matching dresses and attending high school proms in homemade finery. Rose volunteered as a Girl Scout leader and was a member of the Barrington Women’s Club. Rose and Roger had a decades long friendship with a group from Barrington they referred to as the “Great Eight” sharing many good times and much laughter. One of Rose’s interests later in life was following the Red Sox, she kept their roster by her favorite chair. She attended St. Luke Church while living in Barrington and Saint John the Baptist Church while in Westport.

Rose and Roger built their retirement home in Westport, MA. They loved nothing more than swimming, walking and beachcombing at Elephant Rock Beach. Their children and grandchildren loved spending time in Westport with Rose and Roger.
