Rosalee's obituary

Rosalee Hale 72, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family, on October 3, 2020.



Rosalee was born on November 18, 1947 in Reynolds County, MO. She was put up for adoption as a baby. After being placed in many foster homes, she was adopted by Leonard and Gladys Politte of Bloomsdale, MO. She attended St. Philomena Catholic School and worked at her parents’ grocery store, Politte Store and Tavern.

At 14, she moved to Miami, Fl where she was hired as head cashier at Cutler Ridge Cinema. While working there, she met Eugene LaMarr Hale, her husband of 56 years. They were married on April 23, 1964 and had four children.

Her greatest passion in life was her family. She loved children, reading, music, dancing, cooking and spending time with family and friends. She had an impact on many people's lives and will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her mother and father-in-law and one great-grandchild, Aiden.
She is survived by her husband, Eugene LaMarr Hale, and her children: Desiree, Dawn (James), Steven (Olga), and Theresa (Alex). She is also survived by her 12 grandchildren: Matthew, Michael, Zacharie, Jonathan, Kristin, Katelyn, Alexis, Tatiana, Joseph, Jennifer, Evey, Natasha and one great grandchild Aurora, as well as many other family and friends. 


A celebration of Rosalee’s life will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the American Lung Association or to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Don't cry for me. I will be okay.
Heaven is my home now, and this is where I'll stay.
Don't cry for me. I'm where I belong.
I want you to be happy and try to stay strong.
Don't cry for me. It was just my time, but I will see you someday on the other side.
Don't cry for me. I am not alone.
The angels are with me to welcome me home.
Don't cry for me, for I have no fear.
All my pain is gone, and Jesus took my tears.
Don't cry for me. This is not the end.
I'll be waiting here for you when we meet again.
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
