Born and raised in Rochester, Rose went to Jefferson High School and later attended Cosmetology school. She was a beautician in a shop on Park Avenue for several years and later worked in East Pembroke at the Thruway restaurant. Rose was also active at Our Lady of Fatima Church and volunteered at the Batavia Senior Center. She dedicated herself to providing a loving home and was a constant support for all around her. Most of all, family meant everything to Rose. She was a devoted wife, caring mother, and an enthusiastic grandma and great-grandma. Rose was admired for her strength, generosity, and great sense of humor. She could easily chat with everyone she met and instantly put them at ease with a few kind words. The stories and laughs she has shared will always be cherished by her family and friends.
She will be missed and forever loved by her children Barton (Susan) Dambra, Peter Dambra; sister Frances Natale; grandchildren Tom (Molly) Dambra, Heather (Michael) Fedele, and Eileen Dambra; great-grandchildren Abby, Ellie, and Maura Dambra, Ava and Michael Fedele, along with several nieces and nephews.
