I don't know about Rosie's place on this list.

I think what makes Rosie great is what isn't written. Rosie falls into the category of a great woman behind a great man. This is pure specualtion but I don't think I'm wrong when I say Rosie supported Sam 100% in his political career, Sam is the type of man if he didn't have Rosie's support or if she didn't want him to he would not have been mayor for so many terms.

Sam was Mayor...his task was to preside at banquets, hardly a 'political career'. I would think Rosie's relationship to that 'career' would more be one of tolerance.
And I think Pippin's defeat of a troll in the terror and darkness of Mordor, far from home and in service of a larger cause, when he thought he was giving his life in the attempt, was a far greater dead than Bullroarer killing a simple Orc in defense of his own home.
