Rose was born on December 6, 1928 in Wilkes Barre, PA to the late Daniel and Maria (Parada) Spak.

After they were married they relocated to Plainfield, NJ, then to Euclid, OH and then finally settled in Sandusky, OH. Rose worked along side Charles for many years managing Srepco Electronics. She then retired from the planning and design department at Cedar Point after several years of service. Rose enjoyed sewing, cooking (especially her specialty, pierogies), and working in the yard. She also loved watching her grandchildren participate in their sporting events and spending time with her family and friends. Rose was a member of Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church and a life long member of Beta Sigma Phi.
