Rosie was the wife of the late James "Jimmy" E. Finley. Rosie was a stay at home Mom for many years. Rosie loved being with family and friends. She enjoyed planting a garden, cooking, and sewing.

Rosie cared for James many years with love and compassion at home until his passing in 1997. Rosie was a long time member of Mt.
