Their posterity included six children, 36 grandchildren, 105 great-grandchildren, and 121 great-great-grandchildren for a total posterity of 268 members.
Rose was endowed with strength, vitality, and energy, and having learned the value of hard work at an early age, she continued in that path as long as she lived. Rose will be remembered for her compassionate service, thrift, independence and devotion to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Rose was a true pioneer.
