Rose suffered multiple strokes over 12 days, and she passed away peacefully at age 54 in Seattle, Washington. She was surrounded by family in her passing — sister Roberta, niece Rachel, nephew Matthew, as well as close cousins Vickie, Tom and Holly — they were by Rose’s side every day.

Rose is survived by our mother Maxine Falkner, sister Roberta Falkner, fraternal twins nephew Ryan Morris and niece Rachel Bennett, nephew Matthew Price. In addition to the numerous aunts and uncles who affectionately called her “Rosebud”, the numerous cousins and very special cousins Tom Whitley, Vickie Black, Holly Sams, and Julia Falkner. And boyfriend Dave Bennett.

Rose was preceded in death by nephew Jacob Morris and our father Roy Falkner.

Rose worked at Pacific Care Center in Hoquiam, Washington for 25 years as a CNA and she was much loved by staff and residents. She had a heart of gold. Rose was a cat lover; her cats were her babies and meant the world to her. She was an avid reader, a history enthusiast and loved Queen Elizabeth. She was always very proud of her niece and nephews, and she was over the moon to be a great-aunt. Rose was the genealogy buff of the family. She also collected teacups, loved sewing, visiting the beach and really loved her coffee. Rose truly was Wonder Woman.

She was loved by all, and she is greatly missed.
