She married Lowell Richard Mausey on August 5, 1960 at the First Baptist Church of Creal Springs, IL. They were blessed with nearly 57 years of marriage. Rose spent her days caring for their family and home, helping her husband manage the farming operation, specializing in raising cattle and hogs. She attended Arnold View Free Will Baptist Church for 50 plus years and was an active member of the Everready Sunday School Class. She was currently attending church at Stonefort General Baptist Church in Stonefort, IL. Rose was a member of the Williamson County Farm Bureau. She loved antiquing, baking, and cooking. All those close to her will greatly miss her delicious meals. She enjoyed visiting with family and friends. She had a big heart and was always more than willing to help anyone in need. Rose was blessed with a very large family. Those surviving include, son and daughter-in-law, Dean and Debbie of Creal Springs, IL; daughter and son-in-law, Tina and Scott Robertson of Creal Springs; two grandsons, Cody Mausey and his wife, Telly and Austin Robertson and his wife, Brooke, all of Creal Springs; two granddaughters, Shawna Moulton and her husband Dustin, of Marion, IL and Ashley Huey and her husband, Jason, of Creal Springs; three step granddaughters, Brittney Simpson, Taylor Simpson, and Shaylie Black; 5 great grandsons, Brayden Mausey, Gunner Herring, Samuel Robertson, Colt Mausey, and Avery Moulton; one great granddaughter, Gracelyn Herring; two brother-in-laws, Gale Mausey and wife, Melba, and C.W.

Hawkins and Alice Marie (Newbold) Hawkins, her husband, Lowell Richard Mausey, her brother, John Hawkins, brother-in-law, Robert C. “Bobby” Mausey Jr. and sister-in-law and dear friend, Colleen Mausey. Rose Mausey was a friend to all and the rock of her family. She made sure to share with everyone around her the importance of knowing Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Rose would want those she has left behind to continue living their lives without fear and with trust in the Lord. Life is short. She would encourage everyone to spend as much time as possible with their families and to go out and see the world. That is how she lived her life.
