She knitted blankets, sewed and baked on occasion. She liked taking pictures of family moments and making photo albums. Rose loved dogs, reading, doing all kinds of puzzles and playing Bingo. She liked going anywhere in nature and occasionally watched birds. Her favorite sport was baseball and especially the Minnesota Twins. She liked country music and old favorites such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Her favorite radio station was WCCO.

"Although I never married and had children of my own, I have 10 nieces and nephews plus their spouses, and many great and great-great nieces and nephews - so I have many children."
