Ochi served in various positions from Los Angeles city government to the U.S. Department of Justice and was a leader in civil rights, from the Japanese American redress movement of the 1980s to the designation of Manzanar as a national historic site.

The Los Angeles City Council has designated an intersection in Little Tokyo as Rose Ochi Square in her memory.
