She is described as being 4-foot-11 tall and wearing light-colored heavy, hooded coat.

Rose was last seen around 1 p.m. at the assisted living facility, the report said. Shortly after that, a concerned caller to the police station described a woman fitting her description as being at Broadway and Kingshighway, asking for a ride to I-55.
