Rose was born on February 12, 1927 to Jan and Helena Reipricht, who emigrated to America from Czechoslovakia in 1922. They settled in New York City and raised five daughters in Yorkville, where Rose chose to live for her entire life. She enjoyed music, dancing, and a cold beer. Rose loved playing cards and games with her grandchildren. To keep busy after she retired, Rose volunteered as "the ice cream lady" at P.S. 158 elementary school, where she was known to everyone as "Grandma Rose". Rose had four children, seven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
