Rose-Marie Dailey, 96, of Girard, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 14, 2026 at Heritage Manor.

Rose- Marie was born on June 1, 1929 in Masury, OH a daughter to the late Andrew and Rose (Mate) Genetta.

She was a proud 1947 graduate of Girard High School and remained a lifelong Girard resident. She was introduced to her husband Jack who she married April 15, 1950 and went on to raise three beautiful children.

Rose-Marie worked as an office manager for physicians for 40 years where she greeted every patient as they came in the door and remembered every name and address she ever came across.

Family, friends and her faith was what she centered her life on. She sent cards for every occasion and loved calling all her family to sing them “happy birthday” with her beautiful voice, on their special days. She loved attending family celebrations far and wide and enjoyed many travels with her husband, Jack.

She was a member of St. Rose Church in Girard and was a part of the Catholic Women’s Club and other committees. She enjoyed bus trips with friends, cheering on her beloved Notre Dame, block parties on Lincoln Ave., and making every holiday and birthday for her family perfect. She was the ultimate event planner.

Rose-Marie leaves to cherish her memory her daughter, Kathleen Rose Gacsal, son-in- law, Thomas C. Smith, daughter-in-law, Kim Dailey along with 7 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Along with her parents and siblings, Rose-Marie is preceded in death by her husband, John “Jack” Dailey, her son, Mark Dailey, and her daughter, Colleen Smith. We know that this reunification in heaven was a joyous celebration.

Private services will be held for the family, with a Celebration of Life planned for the summer.

Rose-Marie will be laid to rest at Girard City Cemetery.
