Named the symbol of Vilnius Old Town, Rožytė, whose real name and surname is Vida Gumbytė, stood out from afar. There have been many who have seen her on the street at least once and interacted with her.
So the news of his death shocked more than one. On a social media account, famous people shared memories of this striking personality.
Saugirdas Vaitulionis, a communication specialist, was one of the first to remember Rožytė.
“There are people you don’t know, but they are in your life almost every day. Such was Rožytė, whom he constantly met on the castle street near the house. Who knew how to ask for a few euros with charm – for beauty, he said!
Today, the old town has lost some of its charm, which Rožytė, or Life, as its real name has given it, for many years. Easy, iconic trips! ”He wrote next to the photo of Rožytė.
Aistis Mickevičius, perfumer, has known this brilliant personality for a long time. According to him, it was a true symbol of the old town.
“We always greet her and call her Ms. Vida. I discovered her name by accident when she was once invited to show fashion in the collection of my friends Ieva Ševiakovaitė and Jolanta Rimkutė at Fashion Infection.
I remember her as a sincere person. If I was hungry, I would ask to buy a muffin. And anyway, coffee, sometimes a ticket.
I knew he lived in Kaišiadorys. Legends soared about his life, but he didn’t know anything for sure.
The news of his death was very unexpected for me. It seemed immortal, like a phenomenon. Sad “, – lrytas.lt said A. Mickevičius.
The writer, philosopher Arvydas Juozaitis recalled the conversation between the two of them with Rožytė more than twenty years ago.
Gumbyt Vida life, nicknamed Vilnius Rose.
I went out to the eternal arch yesterday. With almost 90 years.
In the last year of the 20th century, when we broke our foreheads once in Vilnius, on Vilniaus Street, in the same place, I dared:
– Is he here again, Rose?
– And where else should I be?
She answers out loud, you have to lean on her because of her height. He speaks in short sentences, his lips move like little bellows, he lets out weak words. It is a great claim to know me too. With a pile of newspapers crashing into the bag. Cleanliness emanates from her, though when she’s overwhelmed she knows what, weekends know what.
You need a coin that is inspected right here and are grateful for your generosity today. He respects an ex-communist, from the party of A. Brazauskas, who presses a litas on his open palm each time. Apparently for some of his sins. Or maybe a good person anyway. When did Rose start, yeah, walking the streets?
– You wanted to ask when will I finish? Well, as far as standing here against the wall, we keep pushing. Of course, it is not only she who stumbles upon the stone gate of “Žuvėdra”, it is necessary to enter. We sit. My party, its history.
– Where I live? Oh, the train arrives in twenty minutes … There was one of those heads of the Lithuanian Railways, he wrote me a document that represented a special, just my ticket (he takes out a sheet of plastic in bad condition A4).
There were good people, now fewer. But it is. I put it in the palm of my hand on the street every day, I make a living … Who is this City for me? Oooo, there is no other … Vilnius is the greatest miracle; walk in it for ten years, walk in it for twenty, don’t wake up …
Who I am? The theater, which in those days I loved and visited … Indian cinema changed me, the colors, the colors … I am not surprised that Lithuanians do not disappear from Vilnius. Therefore, it saves them. I am also Lithuanian …
Unfortunately, I really like good movies and good theater, and less and less … But the street remains, here is the theater. I’m dressed for the stage, right? The conversation has been going on for twenty years, and she kept walking and beating like the immortal heart of Vilnius. Thank you, Rožele, Rožyte ”, the writer shared his memories.
