She was born Jan. 4, 1957, in Butler, and was the only daughter of the late George Edward Lavery Sr. and Catherine (Bowser) Lavery.

She loved her pets, especially her cats. Rose was a devoted wife and mother, who loved to cook and bake for her family. She enjoyed putting puzzles together and going to yard sales.
