Roseanna Watson

On April 20th 2024, Rose will be laid to rest as a beautiful purple rose bush, beside Jake; a strong growing Dogwood tree, where together, they will continue to grow forever.

Nearly everyone has a treasured memory involving a Rose, and while there are thousands of different roses, there was, and will only ever be, one Roseanna Watson, a rare flower that bloomed on Christmas Day in 1949. Much like how a rose's petals unfold like a story, so did Roseanna's life. With every day, week, month and year she filled our lives with layer after layer of delicious meals and warm blankets of love; as she gifted us with beautifully made and thought-out patterns that she would create with the most perfectly picked colors of yarn; every stitch a symbol of the love she had for her family and friends.

Every bowl of spaghetti soup, every serving of bruschetta, and each Christmas and Easter dinner, will always be the tastes and smells that bring back the most amazing memories of a rare and special woman who (even though it only took one wine cooler to get drunk) always made sure her family was fed, loved and cared for.

On March 2nd 2024, Rosanna's last petal fell at 9:59am, surrounded by her four beautiful and loving children: Thomas, Lisa, Tammy and Jacob Jr. Looking at them for the last time, she drifted into peace and back into the arms of her husband, Jacob Sr.

On April 20th 2024, Rose will be laid to rest as a beautiful purple rose bush, beside Jake; a strong growing Dogwood tree, where together, they will continue to grow forever. Where roots grow deep, memories grow forever - and the memories she made with us will never fade. Arrangements by the Clyde W. Kraft Funeral Home, Inc. Columbia/Landisville.
