Rose Wimbley Obituary

Rose Marie Wimbley, 85, of Fallston Maryland passed away on July 28, 2025. She was born on September 20, 1939, in Baltimore Maryland to Millard Griffith Wheeler Sr and Helen Marie (Rose) Wheeler.

Rose Marie Wimbley is survived by son Charles Anthony Wimbley and her daughter in law Lea, daughter Carol (Wimbley) Harvey, granddaughters Samantha Allyson (Wimbley) Manos, Victoria "Tori" Rose Wimbley and their mother Wendy Cook, great grandchildren, Maxwell Kai McCardell, Magnus Leonard Manos, Edith Mae Manos, sister Dorothy van Opstal, brother John Charles Wheeler Sr, sister Karen Jenkins, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her brother Millard Griffith Wheeler Jr and sister Janice Austin.

Rose Marie Wimbley was known for her work in her community. She was involved with the Fallston community's efforts to control growth in the 1960's and 1970's, among first members of the Fallston Swim Club, founding member of the Round Acres Neighborhood Watch Program, and member of the Town of Bel Air police auxiliary. She was an active member of Fallston United Methodist Church since 1967. She worked at Scarff's Country Store, Montgomery Wards, The Aegis, and retired from the Maryland Attorney General's Office.

She was a member of The Bel Air Moose Lodge, The American legion Post 39 and lifetime member of The Havre de Grace Decoy Museum. Marie loved her Fallston home of 57 years enjoying the flora and fauna there. She will be remembered for her positive social interactions and interest in others, her sense of adventure, and love of others.

I loved my mother in law so much. She was present in my life since 1983. I am going to miss her very much. Love you Grandma I got into the habit of calling her Grandma that's what my two daughters would call her. Oh my gosh we would go out together . She loved going up to Strasbourg Rail Road to ride the train. We would go swimming together. She always enjoyed Christmas with her granddaughters.
I miss you With all my love Wendy.
