She also enjoyed spending time with her senior exercise group in Oxon Hill. Frances began attending Trinity Lutheran Church in Lexington Park after moving to Solomons in 2004.

Rosch and wife Arlene (Saul); daughter, Kathryn Phillips and husband Dennis; son, Walter James Rosch and wife Elayne (Ellison); son, Karl Rosch and fiancee Vanessa Javins; seven grandchildren: Michelle Glodeck (Rosch), Carl Eric Rosch; William, Jonathan and Gretchen Phillips and Sarah and Lauren Rosch; seven great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
