Born November 13, 1910 in Pine City, MN, a daughter of the late John and Mary (Bogenschutz) Blass, Rose was raised in Boscobel, WI, and graduated from high school there.

She moved to Marquette in the mid 1930’s to assist her sister and brother-in-law, Helen and Fritz Zweifel, in the operation of their two Piggly Wiggly Grocery Stores, which were located on Washington Street and on Third Street. In her leisure moments, Rose loved working in her garden, growing and arranging flowers. She enjoyed the beauty of her yard. She also was involved in arts and crafts, working jigsaw and crossword puzzles, and especially spending time with her family at camp.
