Honoring the Memory
of Those
We Love

Age 82, on Sunday, February 23, 2025, of Whitehall.

Beloved wife of 56 years to John J. “Snail” Evosevic; loving mother of Angela J. (Mario) Mendolaro and Elaine S. Evosevic-Lozada; proud grandma of Victor X. Mendolaro and Santiago N. Lozada Evosevic; loving daughter of the late Albert C. and Tillie Johnson; cherished sister of the late Albert “Bub” Johnson and Thomas (survived by Annette) Johnson. Also survived by beloved nieces, nephew, cousins, neighbors and friends.
Born and raised in South Side, Rose was a South Sider through and through. She enjoyed planning St. Casimir class reunions and getting together with fellow alumni. She was also a proud member of the Lithuanian Club. A resident of Whitehall for more than 54 years, she loved the many neighborhood friends she made over the years.
Rose instilled in her children and grandchildren a love for the arts, and enjoyed attending dance performances, Broadway shows and art museums with them over the years. She loved making dance and majorette costumes for her daughters and baskets for charity raffles. A staunch defender of the underdog, she also instilled in her children and grandchildren a strong sense of social justice and charity, supporting many causes near and dear to her heart. She loved making her house beautiful and welcoming, tending to her plants and garden, and caring for the deer visiting her backyard.
Most of all, Rose loved and adored her beloved husband Snail, her daughters and grandsons, putting them above all else. Her sharp wit, love, and generous and kind spirit will be missed.
