Rosalind grew up in Scituate and Melrose. It was the town of Scituate that was her real love and where she and Alfred settled once married. They built their own house in Scituate on SeaView Avenue. She and Alfred loved to play cards and to have friends over. They loved their summer time cook outs in the back yard especially over Labor Day when the Sand Hills came alive with its Labor Day celebration. After Alfred passed, her brother Jack Stone moved in with her and her  daughter. Jack and Roz lived together for 33 years. They were the dynamic duo in their elder years, going shopping together, going to lunch, taking rides around the Lighthouse. She was an avid reader and loved to do crossword puzzles.
