When she got out of school she worked at housekeeping for families near Austin. After that she worked at several of the restaurants in and around Austin over the years. During this time she found the love of her life in 1941 her husband of 67 years Lawrence Chambers. During this time they lived in Vancouver, the Pine Creek area, Austin for most of her life and finally Brandon. In these years they raised their four sons and travelled across Canada from B.C. to Nova Scotia, and parts of the United States which included San Diego, California, Brownsville, Texas, and Nashville Tennessee and parts of Northern England. Lawrence and Rosnah also won the award for the best yard one year when still living in Austin.
