Roseanna had a passion for music throughout her life. She was an amazing singer and sang with the County Playboys band. She taught her girls, from a young age, the joy of music from playing Spoons with Tonia and being known as the Dueling Spoons, to buying Rachel’s first guitar, and teaching Symantha and her sisters all her favorite songs passed down from her mom. Roseanna was very outgoing and loved to joke around with others and sing little diddys to make others smile. Besides music, she loved to cook. Roseanna was known for her delicious food while being the cook at Larkin’s Restaurant in Lowell. She taught her girls more then music, she taught and showed them unconditional love and the power of forgiveness. Roseanna will be deeply missed by all whose life she touched.
