Rose was born in Italy on January 10, 1914 and came to America with her Mom, Maria Lalla & a younger sister, Roswin Lalla. Upon arriving at Ellis Island, they immediately became American Citizens because Rose's Father, Angelo lalla was born in Upstate NY.

Rose later married a long time family friend, Nicholas Masciantonio on August 11, 1977 and moved to San Jose, CA where she lived until the passing of Nicholas on September 9, 1994.

After a time in San Jose, Rose's son, Ron, moved her to Orange County, CA in 1996 where she lived in a private board & care home, until her passing.

Rose was deeplyloved by all who met and all who knew her. She will truly be missed although we know she is now in the Kingdom of God, in Heaven.
