She attended school in Halbur and rural school, before graduating from Manning High School in 1950. Rose Anne worked as a dental assistant in Manning for Dr. Fenchel for several years.

On September 10, 1956, Rose Anne was united in marriage with Wesley Nulle at Sacred Heart in Manning.

Four children were born to this union. The couple rented a farm northwest of Botna for 7 years, then they made their home on the Nulle home farm southwest of Manning for nearly 40 years. The farm had been in the Nulle family since 1893. After their retirement from farming in 1994, the couple moved into Manning. Rose Anne and Wes enjoyed spending 17 winters in the far south of Texas. They also traveled over the years through most of the United States and several countries in Europe, including a visit to family in Germany.

Rose Anne enjoyed playing cards (especially Euker) and flower gardening. She participated in women’s league bowling and was a member of the Tri-County Social Club. Rose Anne was a member of the VFW Auxiliary, Manning Hospital Auxiliary, Sacred Heart Church and the Catholic Daughters of the Americas.
