Rose was born March 16, 1924 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, daughter of the late Joseph Venuto and Amelia Menghetti Venuto. Her beloved family includes her daughters Linda A. Natale of Gaithersburg, MD, Diane Natale Palmer and her husband Harry Palmer of Charleston, SC, and Joanne Natale Hilton and the late Dr. John Hilton, of Baton Rouge, LA; her son Francis Joseph Natale and daughter-in-law Lynn Tarquinio Natale of Yardley, PA; her granddaughter Alison Palmer; grandsons Cody Palmer, Kyle Palmer, Austin Hilton, Chase Hilton, and Nicholas Natale.
Rose, "Mimi" will always be remembered as the warmest, most loving, giving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. She lived every day full of light and laughter. She granted her goodness through her constant care, for her nature was to tend to others before herself. Her smothering hugs, ever-inviting lap and kisses in the ears will be missed by all. Our family will only grow closer because of you, Mimi. We love you, eternally.
The family wishes to thank Rose's "Other Girls", her caregivers, Kathryn Magwood, Renee Stelljes, and Denise Ferguson, for their loving care these last few years.
