Rose spent most of her growing up years in Harlem, New York. In 1937, when her parents traveled back to Hungary, Rose was taken in by her older sister, Mary, and her brother-in-law, Emanuel "Manny" Consales, in Arlington, Massachusetts. She continued to live with Mary and Manny until graduating from Arlington High. During that time she converted to Catholicism.
Rose then studied to become a secretary, and met Domenic Conca while working at Tufts University in Boston. They married in 1948, in Arlington at Saint Agnes Church.
Rose and Dom had six children in 14 years -- all of whom were raised well and adored their mother, and miss her still.
Rose enjoyed drawing and had quite a green thumb. She learned from her Italian mother-in-law how to make all of Dom's favorite dishes, and also served her family traditional Hungarian food. She "had a laugh" that no one has forgotten, including her extended family and friends, who also remember her kindness.
Rose died of lung cancer on November 18, 1990, at home in Randolph, Massachusetts. She was 66. A devout Catholic, she was buried at Saint Mary's, steps away from the school her children attended. Many years later, Dom was laid to rest beside her.
