Rose M. Perez, of the Town of Newburgh, entered into rest on Friday, May 8, 2020 at Wingate in Beacon. She was 91.
Daughter of the late Joseph F. and Mary Aleo, she was born on February 27, 1929 in Kearny, NJ.
Rose was a retired milliner working in the garment district of Manhattan. She was also very active with the former Missionary Oblate’s of Mary Immaculate Seminary in Balmville. There she enjoyed running the kitchen for over a decade, feeding and warming the hearts of thousands over the years. Although she outlived most of her dear friends, there are still many who remember and appreciate her kind manner and strong will. To her immediate family, she was the loving matriarch and glue that held the family together. Her cooking was legendary and instrumental in her mission to serve. Rose will be sorely missed.
