June of 1952 and went on to attend Chaffey College where she met a handsome

young man, Robert “Bob” Stapp. They were married on June 27 th , 1953. Rose and

Bob settled in Barstow where they raised three rambunctious sons. She was a

wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. Rose was

an active member of the Pink Lady Hospital Auxiliary at Barstow Hospital for 49

years. She was an avid crocheter and the family has many of her beautiful afghans

to remember her by. Bob was a volunteer firefighter, and they had many

wonderful memories of the lifelong friends from that group they shared good

times with. They enjoyed trips to the river and later cruised with a number of

their friends on the Windjammer Sailing Ships. An epic trip by road to Canada and

Alaska, camping along the way with friends, is another special memory. In 1979,

Bob and Rose built a beautiful home in the Barstow Heights neighborhood that he

designed, and they hosted many memorable family occasions there. Bob and

Rose were members of First Baptist Church in Barstow. Rose is survived by her

husband Bob, her half-brother Richard Sinke, her sons Jerry (Kerry), David (Mary),

Rob (Lauren), grandchildren Jennifer Yazzie, Tracy Herold, Monica Mathews,

Kristy Gurol, Aimee Mattazaro, April Stapp and Robbie Stapp and 12 great-

grandchildren – Ethan and Aaron Yazzie, Denver, Quinn, Jase and Carson

Mathews, Darcy Herold, James and Joseph Mattazaro, Eliana Stapp, and Ender

and Ayla Gurol. We mourn our loss but all of us celebrate her arrival in Heaven.
