Rose was born on April 27, 1934, in Limestone County, Alabama and was the daughter of the late Robert Alonzo Musgrove and the late Lucinda Viola Gibson Musgrove. She was a homemaker and loved by so many. A very humble spirit, she was very reserved, quiet, and kindhearted and loved helping raise her grandchildren. Rose wrote many poems and songs dating back to 1959, all of which were handwritten in her book. She loved canning from her garden and growing beautiful flowers. She was always proud of her Indian heritage. Rose was a member of the First United Pentecostal Church of Columbia for many years and taught her family the truth.
