Kilfoil (80) passed away peacefully after a brief illness at Gosnell Memorial House in Scarborough, Me on March 4, 2025 Rose was born on November 29th, 1944, To Vincenzo and Dorothy Cavallaro Lapomarda. She was born and raised in Portland, Maine. Rose grew up in the Munjoy Hill area of Portland and was always surrounded by her extended Italian family. There were always gatherings for celebrations with her cousins, aunts, and uncles, looking back..., those celebrations bring back memories of wonderful times and traditions. Rose attended North School and graduated from Portland High School in 1963. At the age of 17, Rose started her career in retail at Porteous Mitchell and Braun as a salesgirl in the ladies and Men's department, she stayed employed there for 5 years. On June 18th 1966 Rose married her husband Michael D. Kilfoil, they bought their first house on Spruce Street in Portland, and welcomed three children together Veronica, Michael and Melissa. Realizing their house was too small they moved their family to Windham where they happily settled for the next 50+years. Rose went onto work for Bradlees Department store in Windham where she was employed there from the day, they opened until the day the store closed down, from there she went to a couple small stores and decided to apply at Walmart where she was employed there for 12 years and decided to retire about 10 years ago. Rose knew everyone in town from working all those years in Windham, she was always smiling, waving, and saying "Hi!" to people when she was out shopping. Rose always enjoys family gatherings at her daughter's home on Sebago Lake. Rose and Mike also enjoyed going on a few adventures with their children and grandkids, from camping trips to Northern Maine, trips to Florida and a Disney Cruise as well as another cruise with her brothers and sisters-in-law they always had so much fun! One thing that Rose also enjoyed doing during her free time was sewing, crocheting and making quilts for her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved doing goodie baskets of fudge and Italian cookies for the holidays which is a tradition that has been passed down in her family, and also among her other talents was Scrapbooking and her knack for gardening, she always had such beautiful flower beds around her house.

Roses family would also like to thank the staff at the Inn at Village square for the love and support they gave Rose the past year that she lived there, and the family would also like to thank the staff at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice house for their care and compassion during this difficult time.
