Rose Schaefer Obituary
Rose lived her life with passion. Whether it was caring for her family, spending time with her friends, or nurturing her beloved foster cats, Rose approached everything she did with heart, determination, and purpose.
She found joy in meaningful travel, in the quiet companionship of a good book, and in expressing herself through her thoughtful essays. Rose was someone who lived deeply and loved fully.
Rose was preceded in death by her parents, Helen and Jerry Schaefer, as well as her grandparents, aunts, and uncles. She is survived by her sister, Dianna Schaefer; her nephew, Joseph Schaefer Glick; aunts, cousins, friends, and foster cats who will forever remember her warmth and generosity.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to PawsCo, an organization close to Rose's heart. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Rose, please visit our floral store.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
