She also served the Lord as a deaconess, church secretary, and hosted many missionaries in her home. She made many friends along the way and was loved for her sense of humor and compassion.

Rose was an accomplished artist who specialized in oil painting as her hobby.  She also loved to play Candy Crush (she played over 10,000 games) and at one time was the top ranked player in the world. She was known for her baking skills and turned out the best chocolate chip cookies around. Her house was a daily scheduled stop for UPS and FedEx due to her purchases from HSN and QVC.
