ABOUT
THE HONOREE: Rose Cullen
Rosanette Saragusa Cullen is a native Houstonian.
After spending her early years attending
Catholic schools , she graduated from St.
Agnes Academy and the University of Houston.
Deeply devoted to her alma maters she continues
to stay very active with both. She has served
on both Alumni Boards and has chaired several
successful events for both schools .
Called
"Rose" by most, her interest in
and love for the city of Houston, has led
her to served on many boards, including
her most current commitments with the Museum
of Fine Arts Houston, Bayou Bend, and Rienzi.
For years she has not only enjoyed attending
the Houston Ballet but also served on the
Houston Ballet Board. Early on, Rose realized
the importance of having the best nursing
care so she joined the Board of Nursing
for St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital. She has
also served on the St. Luke's Capital Campaign.
And because Rose believes that the best
of hospital care is what continues to make
this city great, she just recently joined
the Harris County Hospital District Board
of Directors.
Rose's
family is a very important part of her life.
She is dedicated to her son Harry Cullen,
Jr. and his wife Katie, her daughter Katherine
Cullen McCord and her husband Jody, and
her six grandchildren. They spend time together
at their ranch, the Buena Vista Ranch on
the Laguna Madre, and their home in New
Braunfels, Texas on the Comal River. She
believes that the best of times are spent
close to her family nurturing, caring, and
watching her children and grandchildren
as they grow to be fine caring adults. Now
they are following the footsteps of their
parents and grandparents, who have instilled
in them by example the value that working
together to care for family and community
is the key to success.
All
Houstonians are fortunate to have such caring
people as Rose and her family working together
with Child Advocates to break the vicious
cycle of child abuse in our great city.
