Rose E. Galli, age 92, passed away on Wednesday, September 7, 2022 in Arvada, Colorado. She was born May 28, 1930 in The Grove, Texas, to Walter Louis Sohns and Freida Richter Sohns.

Rose attended Lutheran High School in The Grove. Rose married George Galli on July 23, 1971. While she worked tirelessly as a retail sales associate for over three decades, Rose’s favorite and most important job was being a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was happiest when surrounded by her family around a delicious home-cooked meal.

Rose held her faith close throughout her whole life. She enjoyed fashion, shopping, cookies, See’s Chocolates (Nuts & Chews), white wine, and a good glass of brandy. She was a loving wife, a supportive mother, and devoted grandmother and great-grandmother. She influenced the lives of many people and will be remembered for her spirit and concern for others.

Rose was predeceased by her husband, George Galli; son, Randy Edwards; daughter, Vicki Barone; son-in-law, Stephen Barone; and her siblings, Ted Sohns, Albert Sohns, Ralph Sohns, Margo Woodward, Ruth Nowlin, Johnnie Sohns, Norman Sohns, and Kathy Holt.

Rose is survived by her siblings, Walter Sohns Jr. (Daisy), and Jerry Sohns (Betty); children, Janice Sanders and Ed Schneider (Penny); daughter-in-law, Katy Risinger; son-in-law, Michael Sumpmann; grandchildren, Renee Edwards, Jesse Biggs, Dawn Barone (Chandler), Zachary Barone, Jacob Edwards Risinger, Michelle Risinger, Chad Schneider (Erin), Alyssa Schneider Street (Martin), Erin Sumpmann and Derek Sumpmann; great-grandchildren, Cassandra Campos (Domonick), Lily Edwards, Avery Barone, Rebekah Schneider, Hannah Schneider, Daniel Schneider, and Abigail Schneider; along with several nieces, nephews and numerous other beloved family and friends.

Her legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone she interacted with. She will be missed by many.
