Rosalie truly believed in education and ensured all 4 of her children attended University of the Cumberlands with Laura Sue and Michael graduating with BS Degrees and Laura Sue graduating with a Masters Degree from Tennessee Technological University.

Rosalie and Don made their next dream a reality by becoming the owners of the "SOLID ROCK ROLLER RINK" in Urbana, Ohio as a welcomed successful Urbana community ministry.
