Rose retired at the young age of 84.Rose often enjoyed talking about the days when she volunteered at the Red Cross, Veteran’s Affairs, different bowling events, and Jackson Height’s parent teacher association. She enjoyed participating in many different church events from singing in the catholic church choir to assisting in specialized church hosted events.
