She did work outside her home for a time at Taco Bueno in Claremore, where she was lucky enough to wait on Garth Brooks and get his autograph on a napkin. According to her family it became a prized possession.
A lady that was all about family, son Kent, said she was viciously loyal and protective of all of them. Rose had a great sense of humor and liked to have fun. An example of this is she told her two children she had one that looked scary and one that was scary. Family game day was something she looked forward to, and it was a family tradition. As a family they spent the day playing computer games and especially Rose’s favorite, Mario. Rose had an ear for music and enjoyed listening to anything but Blues and Jazz. Reading and coloring were two of her favorite pastimes. No story about Rose would be complete unless you mentioned her favorite TV series Yellowstone and her liking of the documentary station. According to her family, many nights Rose would fall asleep with the documentary station on and you can rest assured she had watched the one about the super volcano Caldera located mainly in Yellowstone National Park.
