Rose was born on September 8th in St. Paul, Minnesota. She grew up with one brother, Thomas and three sisters, Jackie, Joann and Kathleen. She has many nieces and nephews. Rose attended Saint Agnes for High School. Her first job was at Grant's Department Store. She worked as a file clerk at Brown & Bigelow for 47 years - a job she really enjoyed.
In the past, Rose liked boating and fishing for sunnies. She grew flowers and vegetables. She enjoyed riding her bike and was part of a Polish dance group. 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.
Rose was a member of St. Adelbert's and St. Agnes Catholic churches. She was active in many groups at both and volunteered. She liked studying the Bible.

"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."
