Rose Marie Giannecchini

two months after the loss of her

beloved husband of 63 years, Oliver.

She was a loving mother of Diane (Bruce)

Arkley of San Jose and Mary (Dale) Kuehne

of Antelope. She deeply loved and was

proud of her grandchildren, Christopher

and Katie Arkley and Michael and Kelly

Frederiksen. This was a love that we all

gladly returned. Her greatest joys were time

spent with her family, on vacations and at

family and holiday gatherings. She was

preceded in death by her sister Alvina

(Frank) Allen.

A life long Stockton resident, she retired

a few years ago as a long time volunteer

at the Friends of the Stockton Public

Library. She also volunteered at Adams

Elementary School. She enjoyed cooking,

the theater, working in her garden, and

walking with friends at Sherwood Mall.

We would like to thank the nurses, doctors,

and staff at St. Joseph’s Medical Center for

the compassion and kindness shown to Rose

and her family during this very difficult time.

Please consider making a donation in Rose’s name

to The Friends of the Stockton Public Library,

St. Joseph’s Foundation of San Joaquin, or to

a charity of your choice.

A memorial service will be held at 11:30 a.m.

on Saturday, June 18 at St. Luke’s Church.

Grandma Rose, we love you and miss you.
