Rose, a native of Paradise Valley, Nev., was born March 27, 1919, to Steve and Lucia Boggio at their family ranch. Steve Boggio was a native of Quitenego, Italy, coming to Paradise Valley in 1909 where he became involved in the ranching business. Her mother came to the valley from Passobreve, Italy, in 1910.

Rose had many interests and talents. She was a substitute teacher in the Winnemucca public schools for over 10 years. She loved to paint using various mediums and did beautiful needlework. She also enjoyed playing card games but especially loved the game of Bridge. Her family, however, was her most loved and important interest.
Every year she and her husband planted a large garden and then she would can and freeze as much as possible. She also raised beautiful flowers, including irises and roses, in her yard during the summer.
Rose was a member of the St. Paul's Catholic Church, St. Paul's Altar Society, Winnemucca Fine Arts Gallery, Winnemucca Artists Association, 50-year member of the Daughters of the Nile Library Club, American Association of Retired People, and the Nevada Historical Society.
