Rose was born on November 5, 1933, the younger daughter of the late Anthony Massaro and Marianna (Papa) Massaro-Viola. Rose will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, “gram,” and great-grandmother.

She was a member of the Level Green Senior Citizens and a former member of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 331. Rose also provided childcare services for many children in her home and at the Christian Life Church nursery. She was passionate about her hobbies, which included reading, crossword puzzles, bingo, and her “drawings” through which she corresponded with friends all over the country.
