Rosa era miembro de la Iglesia Católica St. Alexius en Beardstown. Era una ama de casa que se enorgullecía de criar a sus hijos. También recibía a otros niños en su casa para cuidarlos cuando sus padres trabajaban. Disfrutaba de la música, coser, tejer y trabajar en su huerto de flores y vegetales. Cocinar era su lenguaje de amor, y cuando quienes la rodeaban comían, realmente le traía mucha alegría. Nadie más podía cocinar como ella lo hacía. Su auténtica comida mexicana era la favorita de su familia. Pasar tiempo alimentando a su familia realmente trajo mucho a su vida.
