I've omitted the address and telephone information for privacy reasons. However, should anyone choose to make contact, I ask that they please be respectful of her boundaries, her family's boundaries, or of those of the home's present occupants.
Rose Lena Cole's mother Willie May Puckett (herself a Louisiana native) died in Beaumont, TX in 1999. Rosie Sherman also lived in Beaumont, TX around the same time.

Rose Lena Cole's birthday was also on Dec. 23, 1956. What are the odds there would be two women named Rose Cole born on the exact same date in the exact same year? Sure, it's possible, but...

Perhaps after running away from Synanon, Rose spent the next few years among various members of the "Underground Railroad" or some church group. Perhaps she contacted her birth father at some point, who no longer wanted anything to do with her. And with her step-mother and step-siblings moved away, she contacted her birth mother in Texas next. There, she married, raised a family and lived her own life. In fact, it's entirely possible that Rose may not even be aware that she's regarded as a missing person in Michigan and California. Why would she be now that she is a wife and mother with a new married name?
Then again, should Rosie Sherman not be the same person as Rose Lena Cole, I must admit that the coincidences are profoundly striking!
