She will also be missed by her grandson's Michael (Beth) Steczek and Christopher Steczek and 4 great-grandchildren: Tayla, Alaina, Lila and Ethan.

Rose was a life long resident of Detroit. She loved all of her many dogs. Rose enjoyed music, especially Elvis, Johnny Horton, Frankie Laine and Mario Lanza. She loved anything with bright, beautiful colors. She would always stop and marvel at churches and beautiful flowers, teaching her children to appreciate simple, God given beauty.

Her children say that she taught them "How to forgive". Rose lived what she spoke by giving unconditional love to her family and showed extreme kindness to anyone she came in contact with, regardless of how they treated her. There was no such thing as "half siblings" or "step-family" Rose considered everyone her family no matter what. Her love, support, and generosity was boundless.
