Rose and Art had three daughters and after 35 years they then moved to Florida residing in Clermont and Leesburg before returning in 2003 to Fairview and later Erie.

Rose throughout her lifetime was known for her great cooking and baking. She was active in many garden clubs, art leagues, and craft groups. Rose could paint and draw, and sew anything. Her crocheting skills were well known and she always had time to make and donate hats for children and adults. Her afghans have graced many homes no matter where she lived. She would make friends easily.
