She now shares a grave with her elder sister, Lillian. Even though Lillian was only four years old at the time, she blamed herself for Rosa's death. According to Lillian, their mother was helping with harvest, shocking wheat bundles. Lillian had been left in charge of her younger siblings, Joseph (age 2) and Rosa (11 months). As Lillian recalled, Rosa crawled off of her blanket while Lillian and Joseph played together. When Lillian found her, Rosa was eating dirt. A short time after the event, Rosa developed dysentery and died. Throughout her life, Lillian believed that Rosa's illness was due to the ingestion of that dirt. Lillian had Rosa's remains exhumed in 1976 so that they could be buried together in the Colfax cemetery.
