Those who knew Rose loved her for her fun loving spirit. Her creativity and thoughtfulness shone through everything she did as she made sure each person she loved had more than they could have ever hoped for. Rose spent her early years at home raising her children. She was very proud of her grandchildren and loved the idea of having little great-grandchildren in her life. Rose enjoyed bowling, playing cards, camping, gardening and cooking. Mom enjoyed the special times at home when she could have all the family together.
