Rose was actively involved in the church choir and singing for years in a German singing group, Dorcas Society and Bible Studies. Rose loved her flowers and could hardly wait for spring to plant her geraniums. Rose was a talented seamstress, sewing many wedding dresses, formals and doing alterations. She loved sharing her baked goods with everyone. At Christmas she made almond-roca and other times German coffee cake and cabbage rolls (a family favorite.) Rose loved pink and she always had a soft-pink kitchen, 'cause it made her happy. Rose was preceded in death by her husband Harry of 69 years, her daughter Rosetta and her sisters Katherine (Joe) Gettman, Marie (Jake) Batt, Betty (Dan) Trupp and brothers Alexander (Dick) Reiter and Jack Reiter and son-in-law Eddie Leuthold.
