Rose was born on May 18, 1960 in Chapel Hill, NC. She graduated from Fike High School in Wilson, NC in 1978 and went on to attend East Carolina University where she graduated in 1982 with a BA degree in Marketing.
Rose married Donald in 1997. She met him through a mutual business venture. They welcomed Sara Ann in 2000, Tre in 2002, and Owen in 2006.
Rose was a heartwarming lover of people, bringing joy into every room she entered. Always upbeat, positive, & determined, she impacted people in every facet of her life with inspiration and a resoluteness to do good to others. She was a most loving daughter to her parents and a treasured sister. She had a fierce love and faithfulness for her family and sweet devotion and loyalty to her friends. Rose touched many lives with her vivacious enthusiasm for life and her desire to fulfill her calling in the Lord by loving & serving others. She was a stellar saleswoman with a strong work-ethic and had a successful profession in Real Estate for most of her career. She also was a great athlete and whooped many a person in racquetball and other sports in her day. One of her most desired places to be was at the beach in a low chair at the edge of the water, just soaking in the goodness of God, breathing in the sea air, and listening to the waves. However, Rose’s favorite part of life was simply spending time with her precious family. She was a loving and devoted mother, and she treasured her Donald with playfulness and passion.
