Rosa had a successful career with TD Bank for over 45 years. She loved to cook and nourish the family with her homemade meals (especially her meatballs) and enjoyed having the family around. Rosa had a love of music, books, sports and continuous learning. She had an extensive collection of pens, which she would collect wherever she went. Above all, her grandchildren were her pride and joy.
