Rosy, (aka Rozzie), was raised on a farm in Idaho, where polio took away the use of her legs at 5yrs old. Nonetheless she never let it slow her down or complained. She enjoyed music, especially Elvis, playing cards, watching singing shows like American idol and most of all being with her family. She strived to get the best of life and went to Steven Henager college in Utah, where she earned a BA degree. She met her husband of 50 years, Kerman, while cruising State street and eventually fell in love. They were married in the Idaho falls temple and began a family that consisted of 4 sons and 1 daughter.
Rosy was a model mother, wife, and friend. She always took care of her family and never let her disability get in the way. Her unconditional love and happiness was shown in everything she did. She was known to be completely unselfish and nothing meant more to her than her family.
Her beauty and laughter was a sight to see and hear. There was always a feeling of warmth and solice when she was around, a welcoming embrace to anyone she met.
Rosy will be missed dearly by all. There was so much she always wanted to do and see. Now as she is welcomed in heaven she can shed her braces and dance, Run freely in the wind amongst the clouds. Her pain will be replaced with loving prayers and memories of her family and friends both in heaven and earth. She will be watching over us as a guardian angel, waiting unselfishly to be reunited once again.
