Merily Rose Obituary
June 6, 1931 - April 18, 2025
Merily (Molly) June Rose, 93, passed away on April 18, 2025 at Church of God Nursing Home, Carlisle, Pa. She was the wife of the late Carol V. Rose.
Born in Carlisle, Pa. on June 6, 1931, she spent most of her life in Gardners, Pa. raising her family and helping her husband on their fruit farmette. She was the daughter of the late Guy Sr. and Tressie Mullen (Kuhn). Molly graduated from Boiling Springs High School, was married at Mt. Zion Lutheran Church in Gardners, Pa. and a member for years, and, in recent years a member of the Gettysburg Foursquare Church, Gettysburg, Pa.
A much beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Molly loved being surrounded by her family and friends, flower gardening, traveling, and going to concerts and the theater. She especially loved her trips to Colorado with her daughter, visiting her grandson in Arizona, and past trips with her niece and late sister.
She is survived by her daughter, Suzanne Rose; son, James E. Rose and wife, Debra; grandson, Shawn Rose and his husband, Paul; and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sister, Gladys (Glady) Hefelfinger (Noel); brothers, Kenneth Mullen (Kay) and Guy Mullen, Jr. (Nancy); their spouses; and 10 sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws and their spouses.
The family wishes to thank hospice, as well as the support of family and friends.

Dear Jim and Suzanne,
I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Molly was such a sweet person. Dick and I always enjoyed our time spent with both your Mom and Dad. Dick had so many great memories growing up with your Dad especially at the farm. We did not know your Dad passed until long after the fact. Last July Dick passed as well. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love to you both. Peggy Miller
