Rose loved her job working at The McCall's Printing Factory in the 1960s as a switchboard operator. Calls came in from all over the United States as well as internationally. McCall's was the largest printing factory in the world, covering 38 acres, right here in Dayton, Ohio. Rose had always wanted to be a secretary so she took a few classes and ended up working for and retiring from Wright Patterson Air Force Base as a secretary.

She was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Kettering Ward as well as the Palm Harbor Ward in Florida. She and Victor retired and lived in Dunedin, Florida for twenty wonderful years. She loved serving in her church and served two temple missions in Orlando, Florida with her husband, Victor. For her missions, Rose took a language course and quickly learned to speak Spanish which enabled her to serve those who only spoke Spanish.
