She died from complications of metastatic breast cancer which she previously had beaten in 2018. Born September 21, 1939 to Covey and Lela Mae Ingram of Converse, LA, Rose was their first of four children. She graduated valedictorian of her high school class from Marthaville High School.

In September 2006, she helped establish the Beulah United Methodist Church Prayers and Squares Ministry. She moved to Bethel Congregational Methodist Church in Pleasant Hill and re-founded the quilt ministry there. Over 1500 quilts were hand-made and gifted to individuals who were sick or recovering from surgery or injury. Rose Ann touched nearly every quilt. She cut, pinned, hemmed, tacked, washed, and delivered the quilts. The congregation of the churches lovingly and faithfully prayed over each quilt as each tacking thread was tied. The Prayers and Squares Ministry was her calling from God; to use her talents and time to support and love those in need.
