She married Ervin J. Klebosits on June 12, 1965 in Des Plaines, IL. He survives. Also surviving are three children, Erik (Noel) Klebosits of Lakemoor, Krista (Stephen) Rawlings and Karen (Tom) Quinn, both of Bloomington; ten grandchildren, Elizabeth, Rutger and Giana Rawlings, Jessica, Danielle, Jaxon and Karleigh Creasey and Ian, Ryleigh and Savannah Quinn; and a brother, Chuck Parker of Isle, MN. She was preceded in death by her parents. While at Purdue University, where she met her husband Erv, she received her Bachelor degree in Special Education and then taught for several years. As her life changed with children, so did her career. Whether it be selling Mary Kay Cosmetics or working with her husband to build his pharmacy career, she selflessly put family first. Rose truly lived her life for her family and friends and she knew no stranger. She courageously battled and defeated cancer twice and ultimately succumbed to advanced dementia.
