Rose Wartsky's Obituary
Rose Wartsky, 92, passed away quietly on December 17, 2012 after suffering a stroke earlier this week. As Holocaust survivors, she and her husband Jack Warsky who preceded her in death, emigrated together from Germany after the war to New York City but moved to Tucson in 1970 after having vacationed here and fallen in love with the desert mountain landscape. For 39 years she operated the well-respected Rose Petal Dress Shop and Rose Petal Bridal Fashions on East Broadway. She is survived by her beloved son and attorney at law, Mark, and nephew Marcus Laufer as well as nieces, Paula and Marilyn Laufer. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Private graveside services were held at Evergreen Cemetery. The family wishes to thank the doctors and staff of Tucson Medical Center and their Hospice unit (Peppi's House) who were so comforting and offered such professional care.
