Rose Ray - Rest in Peace

One of my fellow-parishioners died late last week. Rose Ray was full of life and always spoke her mind. I always liked seeing her and talking with her. I think the last time I talked to her, she gave me coupons for a local chanin restaurant. She always was thinking of others. Here's what the Lancaster News had to say:

Rosemarie Fratrik Ray, 73, died Friday, Sept. 21, 2007.

Born Dec. 8, 1933, in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of the late Michael S. Fratrik and Vinca Gana Fratrik. She was married to the late Ralph Alexander “Toby” Ray. She was retired from Duracell. She was a member of the Springs Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Gift Shop and the Red Hats Club. She was an adult literacy instructor. She was a member of St. Catherine Catholic Church.

Survivors include two daughters, Sharon Dusenbury and her husband, Kleber, and Linda Ray, all of Lancaster; a granddaughter, Kristie Kennington; a great-grandson, Brayden Kennington; and a sister, Eleanor E. Krkoska of Philadelphia.

Services will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at St. Catherine Catholic Church.

As with death, comes life. One of my sisters had her 7th child last night, a boy named Aquinas Joseph. Blessed be God.

May Rose's soul rest in peace!
