Rose Marie Albers (Tardiff), age 93, passed away peacefully under the care of Gentiva Hospice on November 14, 2025. A devoted wife, loving mother, and delightful grandmother/great grandmother, Rose's life was one of deep faith, a vibrant delight in all things gardening and an inner strength to endure any of the life challenges she faced.

Rose was a proud graduate of Hope College, where she earned a degree in teaching. An avid golfer, bridge player, and floral design expert. Rose led an active lifestyle and developed many deep and lasting friendships which she treasured deeply. She had a deep and abiding love of her hometown of Holland, Michigan and graciously gave her time and talent to many clubs.

Rose was preceded in death by her husband, Robert, her daughter Laurel and her brother Calvin Tardiff.

She is survived by her sons: Mike (Kathy) Albers, and Mark (Jackie) Albers; 3 grandchildren; 6 great grandchildren; brother: Raymond Tardiff; many nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 am, Thursday, November 20, 2025, at the Chapel at Christ Memorial Church, 595 Graafschap Road in Holland. Reverend Tim Brown will be officiating. Entombment will be in the Restlawn Memorial Gardens Mausoleum.
