Rosalie “Rosie” Burlile, age 75, passed away on February 2, 2026 surrounded by family. She was born on January 3, 1951, in Dayton, Ohio.
Rosie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend whose warmth and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone she met. She is survived by her loving spouse of 53 years, Michael “Mike” Burlile; her children, Jason Burlile (Pam) and Amy Burlile; her cherished granddaughter, Kira Burlile; her brother, Ron Dodson (Deb); as well as nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many close friends. She was preceded in death by Jeff Dodson and Carrie (Mae) Dodson.
Rosie worked at WPCU for 17 years, where she was known for her dedication and friendly spirit, until a stroke ended her working career. Later, Rosie and Mike moved to Florida, where she embraced a new chapter of life. She joined Bartram Newcomers, a decision that led to friendships that became lifelong bonds. Those friends were more than companions—they were like family, reflecting Rosie’s natural ability to connect, and care.
Rosie will be remembered for her strength, her love for her family, and the joy she found in meaningful relationships. Her presence brought comfort, laughter, and a sense of belonging to those who knew her.
Service details will be announced at a later date.
Rosalie “Rosie” Burlile will be deeply missed and forever loved.
Crevasse’s Simple Cremation is honored to serve the Burlile family.

Rosie was a lovely, friendly, cheerful lady who I never heard a bad word about. Everyone loved her. She was my husband’s childhood neighbor and classmate. We are all very sad to hear of her passing. 😢🙏💗
I was so saddened to hear of Rosie’s passing. She was more than a customer to me – she was a kind and beautiful soul I always looked forward to seeing. I will truly miss her. My deepest condolences to you all.
Mrs Rosie, was such a sweet kind lady. She always had a smile on her face. My condolences for the loss of your mother and the hurt your family is filling.
Mike, Amy, Jason and Kira …I am so sorry for your grief.
God Bless
Sending my prayers for all. Rosie was such a beautiful person. I’m so happy that I got to know her while she lived in Ohio.
Rosie, your kindness to all, will be remembered for years to come, through all the memories that everyone has of you! Your determination to always keep fighting was a true testament, of how much you loved your family and you knew, they needed you too. I remember when we were both planning our wedding, all the talking we did back-and-forth. I remember somebody was selling stainless steel pots and pans and you gave them our name. It was mine and Jeff’s first purchase, that we made payments on. We are still using those pots and pans today, 50 some years later. Prayers for your family, that the memories you gave them with will give them comfort, through their sadness and loss.
