Rose Marie Buffenmyer, 91, passed away from this earthly life to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on July 6th, 2025. Born in Lititz, Pa on January 7th,1934, she was the daughter of the late David and Marie (Simmons) Walton. Rose was preceded in death by her very loving husband, Wayne L. Buffenmyer. She was a graduate of Warwick High School.
She always had a smile and a hug for everyone. She loved flowers and had exquisite flower gardens that she freely allowed all to come visit and enjoy their beauty. She was a fantastic cook and baker and often shared treats with all her neighbors and family. She loved going for drives to see all the natural beauty at Middle Creek Wildlife Area. She loved to read and learn for God’s word every day. She was a faithful prayer warrior. She was a member of Alive Church in Ephrata. A great joy for her was loving and serving her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She truly manifested a servant’s heart to all around her.
Rose is survived by a son, Dennis W. (Ausma) Buffenmyer; a daughter, Denise S. (Anthony) Fry; three grandchildren, David (Hollie) Fry, Andrew (Anna) Buffenmyer, and Rachael (Jordan) Martin; five great grandchildren, Eve Martin, Paxton Martin, Laney Martin, Chloe Fry, and Lily Fry. In addition to her parents and husband, she is predeceased by five brothers and a sister. It was an honor and a privilege to love and serve her all her life. How blessed we were to be able to call her mom, grandma B, and G.G. (great grandma).
Services will be private to the family. Rose’s final resting place will be at Mohler Church of the Brethren Cemetery in Ephrata.
