After graduating from Ferris High School in Jersey City, Rose went to work as a secretary in New York City. In 1951, while sitting in church at midnight mass on Christmas Eve, the love of her life, Clemens M. Weber, asked her to be his wife. They married on June 7th, 1952. Together, they had four children. They moved to Washington Township, and later to Saddle River.

Rose’s greatest joy in life was spending time with her children and grandchildren. She loved to cook and host her family at home for the holidays and in the summertime at her home on Long Beach Island.

Rose loved creating still-life oil paintings in her home art studio. After raising her children, she worked as a Montessori school teacher and as a paralegal. She eventually launched her own business and became a successful real estate entrepreneur.

She was part of a tight-knit group of life-long friends, who traveled, hosted potlucks, went down the beach and enjoyed pasta at Rose’s home on New Year’s Day.

After the sudden passing of her late husband and oldest son, she founded a bereavement group at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church where she also served as Eucharistic Minister.

Faith was a huge part of her life and her marriage. Together, with her husband Clem, they made a generous donation to construct a church in Peru.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband Clemens M. Weber. She was also predeceased by her two sons, James G. Weber and Stephen G. Weber. Those left to cherish her memory are her daughters Patrice M. Weber Marciano; Geralyn M. Duffy and husband Joseph Duffy; daughter-in-law Linda Steller and husband Ken Steller; and daughter-in-law Elizabeth Weber.
