Rosie Kerhulas Chagaris

November 7, 1920 - February 3, 2019 Former Resident of San Francisco and Alameda

That ‘cute little Rosie Kerhulas’ was born in San Francisco November 7th, 1920, the 7th child of Greek immigrants Theodore and Urania Kerhulas.

Rosie, or in Greek ‘Triantafyli’ (30 petals), lost her Mother at age 9, then her only sister Toula at age 11. Rosie left her heart, her Dad and five brothers in San Francisco when she was sent to live with her Aunt Joanna in the Carolinas. During WWII she returned to San Francisco, worked for the Emporium, was active with the USO and praying for the Servicemen. Luckily, she married one - Peter Chagaris February 6, 1947, and set up house in Charlotte, NC where their son James was born 8 years later, then Tula much, much later.

The Chagaris family moved back to California to spend many years in San Francisco and South San Francisco. ‘The Hostess with the Mostest’ threw many parties for the Universal Foods gang and Kerhulas family reunions.

‘Five-foot-two and eyes of Blue,’ fun and loving Rosie spent her retirement years in Los Alamitos, Alameda, then moved to Boerne, Texas near her son Jim when her beloved Pete passed away.

Rosie leaves behind her grateful children James P. Chagaris (wife Carla), and Tula Asselanis (husband Jon), Grandchildren Peter Asselanis, and Maxim Bartlett Chagaris, and many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.
