Rose led an active physical and social life. Weather permitting, she would walk up to two miles a day. She liked to engage in various crafts as well as gardening. She had many friends whose company she enjoyed. For years she and a group of women who graduated from high school together formed "The Club" who met monthly for over fifty years. In later years she joined the senior citizens club of Old Town. She especially enjoyed joining her husband, Leo and her three sisters aka "the Golden Girls", going out dining, shopping, or participating in other events of interest. She also enjoyed entertaining her friends and family including many nieces and nephews at her families’ summer camp in Milbridge. Another activity that gave her great pleasure is doing art projects with art students from Husson University. There was even a local news article about it.
