Saratoga Springs, NY - Rose T. (Collins) Brimhall is now celebrating eternal life, in the presence of God, with her parents (Bernie and Rose Collins), and her brothers (Bernie Jr., Bob, and Joe Collins) after departing this world on April 15, 2015. Born September 22, 1944, in Saratoga Springs, she started off life as the youngest child in a storied and treasured Saratoga family, but she finished her earthly life as the respected voice of wisdom and experience in that same family. Rose will always be remembered for her loving kindness, her great sense of humor, her work ethic, and her dedication and personal sacrifice for her family. The biggest satisfaction she had in life came from seeing each of her children, Frank, Mary, Joe, and Terry, raise children of their own. To Rose, that time spent enjoying her children and grandchildren was her life's greatest reward. From her early years attending Saint Peter's Central Catholic High School (class of 1962) through the final stages of her career with the Saratoga Hospital E.D. and Saratoga Emergency Room Physicians, Rose was Saratoga through-and-through. Her dedication and service to the community was recognized and lauded, and her tireless and selfless acts of kindness will be remembered by many. During her last few years, Rose lived in the Collins family home on Schuyler Drive, where she felt closest to the memories and traditions of her loved ones, and where she continued to celebrate that sense of family unity and belonging in a place that holds great significance to four generations of Collins family descendants. She was an avid reader, loved going to the ocean whenever possible, and was a big fan of NASCAR racing, especially Jeff Gordon's team. But what Rose prized most in life were her relationships with family, friends, and co-workers, especially Maryellen and Linda. Their companionship will be sorely missed by all of those people, but her memory will live on in the hearts of the countess people whose lives were impacted during Rose's long and happy life. Rose is survived by her four loving children: Frank Brimhall Jr. of Greenfield Center, Mary and John Lyng of Corinth, Joseph and Jodi Brimhall of Saratoga Springs and Terry and Anthony Onofrio of Wilton. She is also survived by her six grandchildren Erica, Joshua, Nic, AJ, Emma, Sophia and great-grandchild, Ayden. Relatives and friends may call from 2pm to 4pm Sunday, April 19, 2015 at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs (584-5373). Funeral services will follow at 4pm at the funeral home and burial will be at the convenience of the family. Online remembrances may be made at www.burkefuneralhome.com.
