She has many beloved animals waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for her. Rose was employed by the Dunn County Health Care Center for years and traveled the United States with friends. As her parents aged, Rose moved home to care for them, which she did until they passed. She then cared for our Aunt Margaret Kewin until her death in 2012. Rose and her brothers Mike and Bill, were finally able to purchase their own home, which was of great pride to them. Rose loved nothing more than taking care of her home, her pets, and her family. Rose had a heart bigger than the sky and she would give anyone, anything, that they needed, to help them. Her siblings and Baby Cakes will miss her forever.
