Rose was born to Alexander and Anna Brzezinski and raised in Dexter. She relocated to Syracuse when she was 18. Rose was employed as a bookkeeper and later met and married Edward Wisniewski of Syracuse in 1953. Together and with other family members, they raised a family and successfully ran Wisniewski Meat and Grocery Store in Syracuse, a business that was in the family since 1921.

In 1988, Rose relocated to the family lake house in Cicero. She was an avid and dedicated bowler and enjoyed watching and cheering for the NY Yankees. Rose’s family was most important to her.
