Rosie's interests were as diverse and colorful as her career. She loved woodworking and crafts, canning food, reading, and traveling, especially on her Harley-Davidsons which took her to 3 countries and nearly every state. Rosie's adventurous spirit and zest for life were infectious, inspiring those around her to live life to the fullest.

As Helen Keller once said, "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." Rosie embodied this quote, embracing every opportunity and challenge with enthusiasm and determination.
