Rosie was involved with Girl Scouts for 15 years and was employed by the GM plant in Wentzville. In retirement, she devoted her time to making prayer shawls and working with elementary children through the Foster Grandparent Program at both Crossroads Elementary and Progress South Elementary. Rosie enjoyed reading books, watching movies, and doing counted cross stitch. Her love of animals and nature took her to the mountains of Colorado, where she felt most at home. She also loved music and some of her fondest memories include listening to the Younger Brothers with 'Joyce's Group' and hanging out with 'Edna's group'. Rosie enjoyed cooking and collecting recipes. She also played the guitar and piano. Rosie was loved much and will be missed by all.
