Rosalie was born to Anthony Scorsone, a shipping and receiving clerk, and Christine Ball, an executive secretary in Kansas City, Missouri in 1939. Rosalie lived in Kansas City with her mother and stepfather (Dale Brassfield) until she graduated from North Kansas City High School.

After graduation, Rosalie moved to California, where she lived with her father and stepmother (Marina Scorsone). There, Rosalie met and married her first husband, Barry Price. They had two children, a son James (Jim), and a daughter Holly.

Later, Rosalie meets her second husband and the love of her life, David Navarro. Shortly after getting married, they moved to Palm Springs, California. There Rosalie began a long and rewarding career as a grocery checker with Vons Market for over 30 years in Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage, CA.
