Rose led an incredible life. She truly was a remarkable individual who wore many hats throughout her life. From her time as a supervisor at IBM to being a secretary for three different offices. But, perhaps her most memorable role was working in the family restaurant, The Newark Grill. It was clear that family meant the world to her, and she cherished both old and new friendships with great affection.
Rose was a passionate reader and had a love for swimming and camping, especially in their motor home. It was impressive how she never seemed to stand still. She always had a new craft project in the works or was busy crocheting, playing the piano, playing cards, or trying new recipes. Her adventurous spirit and boundless energy were truly amazing.
Rose's zest for life and her willingness to always try something new were just a few of the qualities that made her such a special person.
She is survived by her sons, Mark (Diane) Greco, David (Dina) Greco; her daughters Elaine Greco, Jean (Stephen) Mathis, and Lori (Jim) Orecki; five grandchildren, Elisabeth, Alyson, Katelyn, Samuel, and Nicholas. Rose was predeceased by her husband Edward J. Greco.
