Rose was predeceased by her husband Eddie Ouellette in 1975. Rose loved flower's, especially red rose’s and enjoyed the smell of lilacs. She was everything a mother and grandmother could be in every sense of the word, her family was her life and she was always there for them. She loved children and enjoyed cooking at the school for them. Her own children always came first, she was a stay at home mom and even when she went back to work, her work was at the school, where she could still watch over her kids.
