Rose, Immaculee's mother, was heavily involved in her community. She is described as a kind-hearted woman, who was known to go above and beyond her call of duty. Rose was respectfully referred to as Teacher, not just for her profession, but because of the many thoughtful ways in which she aided the village and tutored the local children.... even those not enrolled in her classes. Rose could often be found sewing school uniforms for the students at no charge.

Rose tended to the fields each morning while the family slept. She checked on the crops, gave tools and instruction to the laborers employed there, and fed and watered the family's animals. Only then would she return home and get everyone fed and ready for the day. Afterward, she would walk to the small school where she was employed full time as a teacher. She also cleaned the home, prepared all of the family's meals, and even served as the family barber.
