Rose or Rosie as those close to her called her has been a resident of San Antonio since 1955. Most of her time had been spent raising her daughter and four sons. To supplement the family income, she worked part time as a grocery store cashier and restaurant waitress. In 1966, she met her current husband, Charles Schultz, at the Farmers Daughter when he came to the table to ask her friend to dance and she accepted the invitation instead. In April 1967, they were married. They enjoyed many years of dancing, deer hunting in the hill country and travel to Las Vegas to play the slots. After her children were grown, their children looked forward to visits with their Memmie, as she always had a sack full of candy and surprises that became known as the Memmie Bag. She loved her children and grandchildren, having a heart of gold.
