Rosann’s warm heart and giving spirit were evident in her role as a youth leader at Kingdom Life Church, where she inspired and mentored countless young lives. She ran the church bookstore for many years and had an incredible gift for connecting with young people and helping them find their faith.

Among her many passions, Rosann had a talent for cooking and was known for hosting unforgettable holiday gatherings. Her culinary creations brought joy and togetherness to family and friends. She and her husband Daniel shared a love for travel, particularly cruises and camping during the summer months with their children. They created lasting memories together through their shared adventures.

Rosann's generosity knew no bounds. She was always ready to lend a helping hand and was known for giving the shirt off her back to those in need. Her home was an open door to anyone who required a place to stay, and her welcoming spirit made everyone feel like family.

Her dedication to community service extended beyond her church work. Rosann was involved with the Lyons Club, where she served as both Vice President and Treasurer at separate times. Her contributions made a positive impact on the organization and the lives it touched.
