Born April 8, 1932, in Niagara Falls, she was the daughter of the late Dominick Gara and Angelina (Archie) Gara. Raised in Niagara Falls, Rose attended local schools.
Rose married the love of her life, Victor on July 30, 1948, and were married for 71 years prior to his passing in 2020. They lived in Niagara Falls for 50 years before moving to Lewiston. Together they raised 8 children and were blessed with 17 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.
A devoted wife and mother of eight, she spent much of her life tending to the home and raising her children. She was a longtime member of Mt. Carmel Church and their mother’s club.
When her husband purchased the New York Fish Market, she was always seen behind the counter happily helping the customers.

She dedicated her life to entire family who will miss her dearly.
