Rose Frantz Obituary

Rose Marie "Rosie" Frantz, 88, passed away peacefully on January 29, 2025, in Raleigh, North Carolina, surrounded by her loving family after a brief illness. She was born on December 16, 1936, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to her beloved mother, Elsie Key, who preceded her in death along with her sisters, Dorothy and Norma.
Rose was a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Her beautiful smile and bouts of laughter were definitely contagious! She also had a kind and generous spirit and found great joy in singing praises to the Lord while watching Christian programs. Her deep faith was evident in the encouragement she shared with others, often reminding them, "We all need to love one another" and "Do your best & God will do the rest."
A passionate traveler, Rose especially loved the West, with Utah and Arizona holding a special place in her heart for its beauty. She treasured visits with her surviving sister, "Donna See" and many nieces and nephews who reside there. Music was another great joy in her life-she loved singing and playing the piano, with Nat King Cole as her all-time favorite artist.
Above all else, Rose's greatest love was for her family. She is survived by her five children: Ricky Salvamoser of St. Marys, Pennsylvania; Kathy (Jerry) Nashadka of Angier, North Carolina; Deborah (John) Berryhill of Wilcox, Pennsylvania; Jeffrey Salvamoser of Wilcox, Pennsylvania; and Cindy (Michael) Allegretto of Wilcox, Pennsylvania. Her legacy will always continue through her ten beautiful grandchildren and nine precious great-grandchildren.
Although Rose will be deeply missed, those who knew her take comfort in knowing she is now with Jesus in a most beautiful place. A celebration of her life will be determined by the family at a later date.
Anyone wishing to donate in Rose's memory can do so by donating to a charity of their choice.

Rosebud, as we called her, Christmas 2015. Her grandson, Jacob Newman, lovingly decorated her house full of lights and cheer. It was wonderful. Rose was so happy with the job he did and with the many lights. She often signed her cards "Rosebud" too. She will be missed for her smile and faith. Love always, S.B.
