Rose also shared a special bond with her beloved cat, Cinco. To Rose, Cinco was more than a pet; she was family. She treated her like one of her own, and the two shared a connection unlike any other. Whether Cinco was causing mischief or simply becoming the center of attention, there was never a dull moment when she was part of the conversation. The love and companionship they shared brought Rose endless joy and laughter.

Her many hobbies included reading, journaling, shopping, cooking, holiday decorating, binge-watching her favorite movies and shows, and trying her luck at the casino. A proud Houstonian, Rose was also a devoted fan of the Houston Astros and Houston Texans, never missing the chance to cheer on her hometown teams

She embraced life fully and encouraged those around her to do the same.
