She met the love of her life in a nursing home, married him, and enjoyed forty-one years with her hubby. She became the world's bestest stay-at-home mom to her six kids, being their first and greatest teacher. Being a wife and mom always came first, and Rose brought that love and passion to the classroom, teaching those who needed extra help. Giving back to the Catholic School system, Rose spent time substitute teaching and was a special education resource teacher. She coached soccer and volleyball and would cheer the loudest for every kid on the team.
