IN MEMORIAM - ROSALIE PENDLETON SCULLY
Rosalie Pendleton Scully died on October 13, 1952 at her home in Shepherdstown, W.Va., just three weeks after the death of her husband, Cornelius D. Scully, a former mayor of Pittsburgh.
In the class of 1903 Rosalie took an active part in all class and college activity. This interest she maintained throughout her life. She had hoped to attend our 50th reunion. She has changed very little in appearance, and was the same handsome, gracious woman we knew at college.
Rosalie had great literary and executive ability. She took an active part in all church, civic and educational affairs both in Pittsburgh and Shepherdstown.
Her generous hospitality and constant thoughtfulness for others made her home a joy for her family and friends. During her husband's long illness and her own illness she was brave, courageous and cheerful, trying to plan for others.
She is survived by four children, and nine grandchildren. A lovelier family I have never seen.
To her family the Class of 1903 sends its sympathy. - Nancy Nulton Larrick '03.
