Rose was born on December 12, 1945 in Genoa, NE to Herman and Mary Silverberg.

Rose's first love was God and family. That love was followed closely by her love and devotion for her work in the Medical profession where she worked in various capacities for over 40 years. When she could get away, Rose enjoyed spending time with her sisters, Fern Cisky and Mabel DeCaire. She also loved her cat (Sox), reading, cooking, traveling, music, and old movies.

Survivors include her sons Paul Morehead, Chris Morehead (wife Angi), and John Morehead (wife Kristi). She was blessed with many grandchildren: Andrea Alsidez (husband Augie), Laura Morehead, August Morehead, Alyssa Morehead, Dustin Thomas (wife Sarah), Tyler Thomas, Leann Messina (husband Randy), and Payton Morehead. Rose was also fortunate to have 13 great-grandchildren: Amara, Dominic, Matthew, Anthony, Denver, Leighton, Grant, Harper, Brynn, Nate, Beckham, Hayden, and Jovie.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sisters, and husband, Vincent "Jim" Laureti.
