Survived by sisters, Jean McFadden, Judy (Donald) Dennison; sisters-in-law, Betty McKown, Cora Levings, June McAllister; and numerous nieces and nephews. Mom was the foundation of our family. Her strong faith, fierce love for her family and boundless energy leaves us with treasured memories. We cherished the Sunday morning "dippy eggs" that brought our family together each week. We would like to extend a special thank you to the staff, nurses and aides at Traditions at Mill Run for their compassionate care of mom. "May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. And rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again. May God hold you in the palm of his hand." Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the family will have a private graveside service at St. Joseph Cemetery.

Im so heartbroken to hear of the passing of great Aunt Rosey! She was my grandmas (Nancy Owens) best friend and treated me as her own granddaughter! I remember going over to Aunt Roseys with my grandma Blackie and playing in Roseys backyard with Tishs girls while Rosey and Nancy talked and smoked cigs!
