Rose enjoyed listening to Italian records, eating Italian pastries, bowling, playing cards, attending tag sales and vacationing in Ocean City, NJ, but most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family and watching her grandchildren play sports because of course they were the best athletes ever. She was a member of the Bethany Baptist Church in East Windsor.
