Rose M. (Gara) Burns
Rose M. (Gara) Burns, age 85, of Buffington, Pa., departed this life peacefully on Friday, December 9, 2016.
She was born in Lambert, Pa., daughter of Steve and Rose (Sabad) Gara.
Rose was preceded in death by her beloved sisters, Elisabeth, Ann, and Violet; brothers, Steve Jr., David, William, and Aaron; and parents.
Rose is survived by her loving husband of 64 years, John W. Burns.
Left to cherish her memory are her loving daughter, Kathy Roscoe; loving sons: Dennis John (Marge), Michael, Brian, and Dennis Sean; her six grandchildren whom she adored; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Rose was a very devoted wife and mother and a woman of deep faith. She was a longtime member of the First Christian Church of New Salem where she served as Deaconess for years and served as their treasurer. She was also a member of the Loyal Daughters Class.
Rose will be remembered for her baking —- especially her ‘world famous’ nutrolls —- and also her halupki.
She and her husband enjoyed going on bus trips and traveling across the country, but what she really enjoyed most was her love for covered bridges.
She will be remembered for her compassion, her service, and her love for her family, friends, and God.
Friends will be received in the DEARTH FUNERAL HOME, 35 South Mill Street, New Salem, Pa., on Wednesday from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m.

Interment will follow in Salem View Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that contributions be made in Rose’s name to the First Christian Church of New Salem, 800 New Salem Road, Uniontown, PA 15401.
