Born March 7, 1910 in Winnipeg, Rose lived her life with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and learning. Winner of the Award of Merit Key upon graduation from the Mt. Sinai School of Nursing in Chicago, Ill. Rose nursed in Chicago and Winnipeg before putting her career on hold to raise her family.

Rose recertified as an RN in Winnipeg in her late 50s in order to continue her career after her husbands passing.
