Her sister Mildred (Pat), whom she enjoyed spending time with, will miss her dearly as well. She also leaves behind several nieces and nephews whom she cared deeply for. Rose enlisted in the U.S. Army at the age of 16 during the JFK administration where she witnessed the Bay of Pigs invasion. She spent 40 years of her life working first at Farmall, in Rock Island, Illinois where she became the first female General Forman to run the paint line. She then moved to Springfield where she continued in her career as a Supervisor, at the Navistar Assembly plant. When she finally retired, she spent her time gardening and enjoying her family. She was always a happy person with a great outlook on life, never letting anything get her down. Rose will be remembered for her great leadership, her tough as nails attitude, and her love for her family. She was an amazing mother, loving wife, mother -in-law, and friend. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Her family finds peace knowing they will be reunited again. At her request, no services will be held. Arrangements by CONROY FUNERAL HOME.
