Steve Imhoff wrote a sympathy message

“Rose always did a great job for our Kiwanis club in Louisville. Due to her help every luncheon and meeting went off like clockwork. She called me every time I missed 2 meetings in a row. On top of that, she reminded me when she thought Ii could use a haircut. She was a full service secretary - and by the way, we inducted her as a member of the club. Steve Imhoff - Member of Kiwanis from 1978 to present.”
