In her later years she was blessed to have such dear friends to share her life with: Dutch Plybon, Nancy Houchins, Joellla Beegle, Thelma Turley, Donna Clark, and the late Wanda Wickell. You could always find Rose playing cards, dominoes, or anything competitive with her friends at Fulton Manor. Rose was a member of the Red Hats and Callaway Community Hospital Auxiliary Club.
