Ena Ness-Rouse Obituary

Ena Ness-Rouse passed away December 18, 2007 in Bremerton, WA. Ena's 97-year life path began in Carbarry, Manitoba, Canada, on September 16, 1910. This path led her to varied places of residence in Canada, Washington, California and finally back to Washington. Our Mother was blessed with abundance; not in the material sense or in monetary gains; rather in an abundance of family and friends who loved and were loved in return. She will be missed by a large family who survive her: her son Morley (Celyne) Ness; daughter, Willa (Neil) Werner; stepchildren Bill (Charlotte) Rouse, Dean (Wilda) Rouse, Dennis (Dorothy) Rouse, Shirley (Jerry) Hardy, Bonnie (Paul) Worden and Claudia Rouse. She leaves 24 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grand-children. She was preceded in death by her father, William Wells, stepfather Roy Howe and her mother, Agnes Howe, along with her husband Loyn Ness and her second husband Bowman Rouse. Also preceding her was her daughter, Carol Ness, and stepson Don Rouse. A memorial service is planned for a later date to be determined.

Ena was a very loving and friendly lady, very apprecitive of all that was done for and with her. She loved her church family and so graciously received all who came to see her at home or as she sat in church between services. She had a quick wit and ready smile. Also dear to her was her Bible study and pray. When she belonged to our ladies prayer group, I so enjoyed her sharing her favorite Bible texts and thoughtful and ernest prayers. I am truely blessed by knowing Ena.
