She later continued her work at St. John’s Hospital in Salina.  Rose furthered her education by earning a certificate in Radiation Therapy from Washburn University School of Allied Health. She worked in Radiation Oncology at St. John’s Hospital.   Although she retired, she later returned to work, staying active and engaging in the field she loved at Mowery Clinic.

Rose took great pride in her family’s accomplishments, especially celebrating two of her grandsons who achieved the rank of Eagle Scout through the Boy Scouts of America.  She especially cherished time spent with her family, whether gathered around the table playing cards or simply enjoying each other’s company baking in the kitchen.  Her hobbies included genealogy, Kansas University basketball, Royals baseball, and traveling to all 50 states and several countries.
