After graduation, Rose attended Kingston College where she met and married the love of her life Altimont Augustus Plummer, on June 18, 1950 in Kingston, Jamaica. The couple would make their home in Jamaica, England, and Quebec before moving to the United States in 1972. For more than twenty years, Rose worked outside the home as a Janitor for the North Star Steel Company retiring in 1992. Rose was the matriarch of her family by loving, supporting, and caring for three generations of children.

As a talented seamstress, Rose could sew and create just about anything. She enjoyed tending to her vegetable and flower gardens and listening to classical and reggae music with her feline and canine companions, "Baby, "Rosie," and "Avatar."
