Rose Louise Zaccaria Lemieux

GREEN RIVER-Our wonderful mother, Rose Louise Zaccaria Lemieux, 88, passed away Dec. 9, 2017 at HopeWest in Grand Junction, Colo.
She was one of 13 children born to Stefano and Concetta Farlaino Zaccaria in Price, Utah on April 28, 1929.
Rose’s life revolved around family and just like her mother there was no greater honor than cooking and caring for loved ones. She was a very colorful person who made a lasting impression on everyone she met. While living in the area she owned and operated several Café’s. In Price, she owned and operated the Crete Café, in Thompson, Utah the Silver Grill and when the family moved to Green River in 1974 she proudly served generations of families, tourists, truck drivers at the Lemieux Café. Rose loved serving others, whether it was a warm meal or an enjoyable visit, you always felt better after your departure. Rose loved everyone and she will be sorely missed by family and a community of friends.
