Rosaline Joan Scola, age 80, passed away on August 10, 2024, in Surprise, Arizona. She was born on October 8, 1943, in Kenosha, WI. Daughter to the late Louis and Helen (Chiappetta) Scola. Affectionately known as Rose, Roe, Boo-Boo, or Ma, she deeply touched the lives of many and fiercely loved her family.
Rose attended Mary D. Bradford High School and graduated in 1961. She furthered her education at Gateway Technical College and graduated in 1963 as a Licensed Practical Nurse. She dedicated thirty years of her life working at Kenosha Brookside Care Center as an LPN and then, a Nursing Office Manager.
She is survived by her two children; Louis (Lisa) Stankus of Burnsville, MN, and Helen (David) Shuman of Clarksville, TN., grandchildren; Suzanne (Wes) Frankiewicz, Sarah (Bryan) Kozlowski, Robert (Michelle) Best, Sydney, David, Samantha and Stephanie Shuman, great-grandchildren; Brody Best, Willa Frankiewicz, Norah, Claire, and Lydia Kozlowski.
Rose was preceded in death by her brother, Louis Scola Jr., and her son, Paul Stankus Jr. Previously married to Paul Stankus Sr. and widowed by William Oestreich.
Rose had a passion for crocheting and gifting beautiful Afghans and baby blankets to those she loved. Rosaline enjoyed reading, shopping, and binging the latest TV shows. An absolute foodie she was always experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen and loved dining out. You better not leave her presence hungry! Her greatest joy, however, was her family. Rose had an outgoing personality and being extremely generous, she always took advantage of being able to throw together a gift or party for those she loved. Forever leaving a lasting imprint she will be remembered for her contagious laugh, loving spirit and warm heart.
A memorial mass will be celebrated on Friday, August 23rd, 2024, at 11:00 AM at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary of Pompeii, 2224 45th Street, Kenosha, WI 53140. Visitation will be held Friday at the church from 10 AM until the time of mass. Interment will follow at Saint George Cemetery.
