Rose graduated from Hannibal High School in the class of 1965. She enjoyed a fulfilling
work-life at a variety of organizations eventually retiring from Swiss Colony as an Account
Representative.

Family meant the world to Rose. She delighted in baking cookies with her grandchildren,
especially lemon and sugar Christmas cookies. Rose was known for her warm and welcoming
nature, she never met a stranger and always enjoyed good conversation.  Walks at Sodalis and
Riverview Park with her sidekick "Ruffles" by her side was something Rose truly enjoyed. Her genuine interest
in others and friendly demeanor made her a cherished friend and confidante to many. For many
years she enjoyed bowling and was an avid golfer. A lifelong fan of Elvis, Rose also spent her
retirement years indulging in diamond art, assembling jigsaw puzzles, and traveling with her
husband across the U.S., with Biloxi, MS, being one of her favorite destinations.

Rose was a devoted member of Clover Road Christian Church.
