AINSWORTH, ROSE MARIE, 56
AINSWORTH, ROSE MARIE, 56, of Middlesex, passed away surrounded by her family on January 14 at Fletcher Allen Health Care. "Rosie "was born in St. Albans on Feb. 11, 1953. She was raised in Enosburg Falls by her parents Charles and Madeline (Lackey) Burns. Rosie met the love of her life, Peter Ainsworth of Middlesex through her sister, Irene and Wilfred Bedore. Pete and Rosie married on July 10, 1971. Rosie was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother with a great sense of humor. If you came to visit, you better be prepared to be "picked on." She had a nickname for many family members and close friends. She was very passionate about several things, including her grandchildren, her son's racing career, and the family business, Pete's Auto, where she was known as "the boss." When Rosie wasn't working in the shop, playing with her granddaughters, or rooting her son on at Thunder Road, you could find her cooking great meals in the kitchen, growing beautiful roses, or decorating the house for the holidays. Rosie is survived by her husband of 39 years, Peter of Middlesex; her daughter, Nichole Hallock and husband Brad of Williamstown; her son, Peter Ainsworth, Jr. and wife Mary Jane of Berlin; two granddaughters; her six sisters: Elizabeth Billow and companion Gordon Thompson of Enosburg Falls, Irene Bedore and husband Wilfred of Berlin, Theresa Gilbar and husband Sherman of Richford, Bonnie Winot and husband Ronnie of Enosburg Falls, Joyce Ouellette and husband Joe of Milton, and Brenda Jewett and husband Michael of Richford; her three brothers: Robert Burns and companion Mary Babb of Enosburg Falls, Jim Burns and wife Dale of Enosburg Falls, and Bradley Burns and companion Tracey Ingel of Enosburg Falls; and many nieces and nephews. Rosie was predeceased by her parents; her son Wendell Ainsworth; her brother David Burns and his wife Claire.
