Throughout her life, Rose was loved and admired by her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren and enjoyed spending time with them. Her two great-grandchildren Angelina Gould and Trenten Haddock Gould along with her 4-legged best friend Bella were her source of daily joy. She was lovingly cared for by her son Kenneth and, near the end of her life, friend and companion Ann Bunker, who were constantly by her side. In addition to being a woman of great faith, Rose and her extended family have been active members of the Nipmuc Nation.
Rose loved to cook for her family, was a lover of animals and enjoyed a good laugh. She also enjoyed dancing and guacamole.
