Rose Anne Barr
Her legacy: a large, loving family, led Watchung Garden Club
Rose Anne Barr, 90, of Chambersburg, PA, passed away on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 at SpiriTrust Lutheran, The Village at Luther Ridge. Born November 1, 1930 in Sandusky, OH, she was the daughter of the late William H. and Dorothy Ebert Fitzgerald. Her beloved husband, Richard G. Barr, preceded her in death on July 26, 2003.
Rose Anne spent most of her life making a home for her family. She was a member of Wilson Memorial Church in Watchung, NJ where she was long time choir member. Rose Anne was a former president of the Watchung Garden Club of New Jersey where she was a member for 65 years. She enjoyed floral design, making wreaths, interior decorating and volunteer work.
Being with her family was the most important thing in her life. Her greatest accomplishment was her loving family and the legacy she left them.
