BoRosalene "Rosie" Barnesrn, known for her generosity and thoughtfulness, passed away on December 11, 2023, at the age of 78 in Branson, Missouri. Born on December 6, 1945, in Los Angeles, California, Rosie was the treasured daughter of the late Richard and Rosella Alsop.

Rosie showcased her incredible work ethic and dedication over a 34-year career with Allstate Insurance, where she retired as a claims manager.
