She is survived by her daughters, Stephanie Lavigne and Susan Evans, both of Las Vegas. She also leaves behind her brother, Antonio Perez of Garnerville, N.Y.; and her five grandchildren, Kris, Jeff, Jenny, Ronnie and Anthony, all of Las Vegas. Rose is and will continue to be lovingly remembered by her family and friends as someone who had a flair for enjoying and living life to its fullest. Her positive attitude, kind words and quick smile will be missed by all who knew her.

Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m., Monday, March 18, at Our Lady of Las Vegas Catholic Church, 3050 Alta Dr., Las Vegas, NV 89106.
