Ana and Paula’s mother Goldie was born in Poland in 1904. She married Isidore (Izzy), in Ontario, Canada in 1933 and the following year they found their way to New York. Ana and Paula were born and raised in Brooklyn.Ana and Paula’s fondest memories of Mom and Dad are at the family dinner table – filled with stories of the old country, the history of the Rose family, lots of laughter and dreams of their futures. The Rose sisters said, “For those special meals, we would take one of Mom’s chips, break off a piece and pass it around for everyone to share. They were the communal bonds between us and a meal wasn’t complete until everyone had a piece to enjoy.” Eventually Ana and Paula were taught how to make them and they were responsible for making the chips for those special dinners and family gatherings. The Rose Sisters went to college, met their husbands, worked, created their own families, and replicated Mom and Dad’s loving environment filled with a strong work ethic and dreams of the future for the kids... and now for the grandkids.Izzy & Goldie were married for forty-six wonderful years when Dad left in 1983 at the age of 81. Mom left a few years later; she was 79. Their legacies will continue through countless generations to come and Mom’s chips will always bring joy to people (hopefully, everywhere eventually). When the boys were old enough, they passed the secret recipe along to them. They have since taught the grandchildren and the next generation isn't far behind. Ana & Paula will always be involved in the business even though the kids run it today.
