Rosie cherished moments spent with her family, particularly with the little ones. In her leisure time, she found joy in crafting ceramics and quilting. She has a passion for cooking and family gatherings, especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas, it was evident in her radiant presence. At the Abor family reunion, she shone brightly with her homemade ice cream and infectious smile. For many years following her relocation to Abilene, Rosie was a devoted member of Plum Street United Methodist Church. Later, she became a loyal and active participant at Bethel Church of God in Christ for 35 years, where she engaged in the sewing circle ministry. Transitioning to Ash Street Baptist Church, she took on roles as Vice-President and Treasurer of the Women's Mission Group.
