Gearldean Rose Obituary (1943 - 2022)

"I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter. Winston Churchill Gearldean Anderson Rose was definitely someone the heavens had to prepare for. She was a force to be reckoned with. Though she would never admit to it, Gerie was a rebel. She came home with colored hair after learning how to dye it at school.... Of course, her dad sent her back to the school to fix it. She eloped with David Rose.... then didn't tell anyone for six months after their marriage. With the news, her mother announced she had a sore ass (from surgery) and a broken heart. Gerie was a devoted mother and grandmother. She inspired all of us to follow our dreams and be more. From her children to her students, she was always in our corner, ask Fremont High School, they got at least one phone call from her when she felt like one of her grandchildren was being messed with. Gerie peacefully passed away on October 16, 2022, in her home. She leaves behind her two devoted daughters, Jodi Manning (Norman Manning) and Jaime Rose and loving husband, David Rose. Gerie was born on March 18, 1943, to Florence Pilcher Anderson and Archie James Anderson. Grandma will be greeted in heaven by both of her parents and sons, Robby and Jedd Rose. Grandma was always there to cheer us on with a smile on her face, even when it meant her grandchildren and children left her side. She may not be here in person, but she will be with us always. Gearldean be at peace and visit us through the butterflies. Love you grandma.
