She later joined Northside Church of God in Christ in Fort Smith, Arkansas. While living in Atlanta, Georgia, Rose attended Word of Faith Cathedral in Austell, Georgia. One thing about Tiny, if you lived with her or spent the night at her home on a Saturday night, you were going to church Sunday morning. She truly loved God and exemplified her love by being a faithful kind-hearted woman who would help anyone in need. Rose selflessly opened her home to her nieces, nephews and many others. She had a Big compassionate heart and welcomed anyone who was in need.

Rose attended the Fort Smith Public School System: Howard Elementary and she graduated from Lincoln High School Class of 1966. Rose was a member of a bowling league and tennis team in Fort Smith. She loved Arts & Crafts, traveling on cruise ships and baking her infamous pound cakes. Rose retired from Rheem Manufacturing Company of more than thirty years of service.
