In 1955 Rosetta took a chance on a prearranged blind date to meet an American Solider. It was during this chance meeting Rosetta fell head over heels in love with her American Soldier and beloved Harry. In October 1955 Rosetta boarded the SS Flandre on a Transatlantic voyage to meet her one and only true love Harry in the United States for what was to be known as a beautiful love story. Rosetta and Harry married on November 12, 1955, and had a blissful marriage filled with love for over 56 years. During their marriage they had two wonderful sons and traveled the world and eventually calling Heidelberg Germany home. Through Rosetta's love her family flourished.

As the boys grew and became more independent, Rosetta began a career with the United States Army as a Civil Servant and retired in 1994. Rosetta enjoyed traveling across Europe with her favorite vacation spot being Berchtesgaden, Bavaria Germany, besides traveling she also loved to shop.
