They made their home on the original Buresh family homestead in Dunn County for 20 years, until 1947, when they moved to a farm and ranch west of Manning, ND. In 1960, they left the ranch to reside in New Hradec. After her husband Frank passed away in March of 1992, she continued living in New Hradec until taking residence at the Villard Terrace Apartments in 2000. Her last year was spent at St. Benedict?s Health Center, Dickinson. Rose was a member of the Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, New Hradec, and St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, Dickinson. Rose was truly proud of her Czech heritage as evidence by her exceptional preparations of kolachy (made with homegrown poppy seed), special chicken noodle soup (using only homemade noodles), rohlicky, holubtse (cabbage rolls), borscht and other delicacies that her family and friends truly enjoyed. She was a member of Sts. Peter and Paul Church Rosary Society and Catholic Workman.
