Rose was an active and faithful member of the Salvation Army, Chester Corps as a teen and left Chester after high school for New York City to attend Salvation Army Officer Training. Following her training, she was stationed in Canton, Ohio. Her Salvation Army co-cadets, as well as senior officers, remained as lifelong friends.
