Aunt Rose
Businesswoman · Seamstress · World Traveler
Welcome to AuntRose.net
I created this company to honor my great Aunt Rose — a woman truly ahead of her time. As a businesswoman in the 1940s and 1950s, she managed a local business with extraordinary grace: the front desk, appointments, phone calls, the salesmen, daily bookkeeping, records, and all the mailings. Efficient in both her business and personal life, giving great attention to details and perfection.
She exemplified a strong work ethic alongside her creative endeavors — a seamstress making beautiful clothing, needle pointing, crocheting, knitting, and all of us have quilts she gifted us over the years. She was incredibly artistic and imaginative.
Aunt Rose was well respected and liked by everyone she interacted with, and incredibly caring with all of her family and friends.
Her many gifts to the world
A Life Fully Lived
Over the years Aunt Rose traveled the world and took several of us with her to explore various countries. When she was in her 80s, only a few months post hip replacement, she flew from Los Angeles to visit my family while we were living in Sweden. We didn't have a car, and she was happy to walk everywhere with us.
Several years later, my family was cast on The Family Feud and we were scheduled to fly out to LA for the taping. A week before our flight, 9/11 happened and I was very nervous to fly just to be on a "game show." That's when she delivered her philosophy — words that have stayed with our family ever since.
