She was born July 7, 1919 in Chicago, Illinois to Joseph and Nancy Colucci. She found her soul mate, Frank Szabo and they were married on April 25, 1943. Frank, the love of her life, passed away on December 4, 1999.
She had numerous jobs throughout her life and always ended up as a supervisor. She even supervised the women who made bullets for the soldiers fighting in World War II. Her last job, before retiring, was as supervisor for the Sears Catalog Division. After moving to Las Vegas, she worked in a diner and taught CCD classes at Holy Family Catholic Church.
Rose loved video poker, bingo, hot dogs, hot peppers, baking and cooking. She was an avid Chicago Cubs fan and got to see them win the World Series. She was a die-hard Trumper and tried convincing anyone she met to vote for him. Other than her husband, she had 3 great loves - John Wayne, Harrison Ford and Viggo Mortensen. (Ha Ha)
She is survived by her daughter Julie Ann; her son Frank Joseph Szabo Jr.; her daughter-in-law Teri; her two grandchildren Holly and Nicole; and 11 nieces and nephews and their spouses and many children.
