Rose was born on July 13, 1932, the daughter of John and Lucia Crudele Pignatelli. She was proud to have grown up on the East Side of Youngstown and attend Immaculate Conception grade school. She graduated in 1950 from East High School, where she was voted best dressed girl of her class. She was a lifelong area resident It was in a wedding that they were partners in that she met the love of her life, George J. Flask. They were married at Immaculate Conception Church on June 11, 1955. They shared nearly 53 years wonderful years together in a home they built in Liberty Township until his death on April 9, 2008. Together they had two daughters, and a son and Rose began her career as a proud housewife/homemaker and stay-at- home mother. She was a true matriarch and always made her family top priority. She loved her family passionately and wanted nothing more than to spend time with them. She was not only the best Mom to her children growing up but also became their best friend as they got older. She was a fabulous cook and baker, and her family will miss all the wonderful Italian dishes that she prepared. Rose was blessed with the gift of hospitality and her home was always open to everyone. She had a heart of gold and radiated a special warmth. She gave her children many fond memories which included: picnics at Crandall Park, regular trips to Idora Park, swimming at Presque Isle Beach with cousins and many church festivals. Family can never forget walking into her house for Sunday dinners with the aroma of sauce and meatballs cooking on the stove and the Italian hour playing on the radio. She was a member of St. Rose Church. She was a woman of faith and a dedicated Christian which made her an exceptional role model. Prayer was a part of her daily routine. She attended many novenas and prayer services. She had a special devotion to St. Anthony.
