She also was involved in 4-H as an advisor, the Vagabond Camping Club, Pinnacle Club, Mother's Night Out, and Wally Byam Caravan Club International Airstream Unit Auglaize County. Dick and Rosa Lee traveled over the United States and met many friends with their Airstream. She was a member of Ebenezer Mennonite Church and previously Cairo Methodist Church. Rosa Lee loved her family and was happiest when she was with them or attended their events.
