Born on July 15, 1932, in Anadarko, Oklahoma, she was the daughter of Charles Winfield Taylor and Winnie Frances Nelson. Rose was a vibrant soul whose life was filled with love for her family and an unwavering faith in God.

Rose was preceded in death by both her parents, all of her siblings, and three daughters: Sherry Kelly, Sheila Thurman, and Susie Geldmeier. She also mourned the loss of her son Randy Bagwell and three grandsons—Chad Vaughn, Nickolas Wells, and Chuck Batchelor.

Her legacy continues through her five surviving children: Nick Wells and his wife Denise, Rick Wells and his wife Sherry, Bobby Bagwell and his wife Kathy, Cindy Hines, and Sharla Vaughn and her husband Joe. Rose will also be lovingly remembered by her 24 grandchildren, 54 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren.
