Rose was active in the church, volunteering with the Altar Rosary Society, teaching Catechism, and always had a special devotion to the Blessed Mother. In January of 2014, the couple relocated to Clintonville where she has lived since. Rose was an artistic person; she loved woodworking especially, and enjoyed puzzles and card games.
