Rose Ann Charlotte Hadaller

February 9, 1940 - January 9, 2022

On January 9, 2022, Jesus took the hand of Rose Ann Charlotte Hadaller at the age of 81 and led her home. Born on February 9, 1940 in Chehalis, WA. Rose was the fourth child of Paul and Kate Hadaller.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Paul & Kate Hadaller; her brother, Gerald "Jerry" and sister, Mary Janette.

She leaves behind her sister, Joan Newcomer of Silver Creek, WA; her sister-in-law, Eleanor Hadaller of Amboy,WA, and numerous nieces and nephews who all have such fond memories of great times with their Aunt Rose.

After graduating from Mossyrock High School, Rose coached the women's basketball team at Central Washington University while earning her bachelors degree in Physical Education and Health. She went on to obtain a Master's Degree in Education from Oregon State University.

During the summer months Rose spent her time at the lookout tower in Doty, WA, where she welcomed friends and family and shared her knowledge about the forest, fires, and the importance of being a keeper of the forest. Rose began her teaching career in Raymond, but spent 16 years teaching Physical Education and Biology in Longview at Monticello Middle School. After working with UPS a short while, she spent her remaining career at the Washington State Department of Transportation, where she was awarded Employee of the Year for her superior work for the State.

An adventurer before her time, you could find Rose exploring the great Pacific Northwest, scaling mountain tops in Washington, Oregon and California, or with a fishing pole in hand along the Cowlitz River and lakes of Lewis County.

Rose loved the outdoors and built an A-frame cabin at Spirit Lake which she called "Family Affair." Unfortunately, when Mt. St. Helens erupted it destroyed this place that was near and dear to her heart. Rose loved the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, where she hiked around the base of Mt. Rainier numerous times and spent countless hours with friends and relatives hiking and sharing her knowledge and reverence of the place. Rose moved from the home she built in Castle Rock to retire in Ryderwood, WA.

Rose was a wonderful person not only in her career, but as a friend, sister and aunt to us. We love you, Rosie!
