Whereas, Ms. Rose grew up in the Dutchtown and Soulard neighborhoods, and attended school at St. Cecilia's, St. Mary and Joseph, and St. Peter and Paul; and

Whereas, Ms. Rose met the love of her life, and her future husband, Mr. William D. Tracy, at a diner outside his place of employment, Brown Shoe Company, in the Soulard neighborhood, on a rainy evening, August 12, 1949, which was coincidentally his birthday; and
Whereas, Ms. Rose, full of life and spirit, ventured out on her own, despite the displeasure of her parents, to live a productive, healthy, and loving relationship with her future husband, just a little while after their first encounter; and
Whereas, Ms. Rose married Mr. William Tracy in 1953 while visiting Biloxi, Mississippi and honeymooned camping out along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico on their way to visit New Orleans where they later learned a prohibition on alcohol was taking place, but still managed to have a great time; and
Whereas, Ms. Rose became great friends with her mother-in-law, Ruth Tracy, who was the best mother Ms. Rose could ever have; and
