Rose Marie Lamfers
May 7, 1932 - August 4, 2013

"My condolences to the Lamfers Family. May you take comfort in the wonderful promise found in Gods word the Bible to see an end to 'pain, suffering, sickness and even death.' (Revelation 21:4) This is a sure guarantee, that is soon to be fulfilled, from our Heavenly Father Jehovah and I hope you find this promise very comforting at this difficult time. The Bible also holds out a wonderful promise to be able to see our dear loved ones sleeping in death resurrected back to life right here on a paradise earth (John 5:28,28, Acts 24:15). For more information on the hope for those we have lost in death go to jw.org. "

"To the family and friends of Rose Marie: I too wanted to add my condolence. I worked with Rose at the Courthouse years ago, but I remember her just like it was yesterday. I am so glad and blessed that I had a chance to have lunch with her when I came back home a few years ago. It was like old times! She made me laugh and smile to see her again. She will be greatly missed."

"Prayers for her family. Rosie was a good friend of my mother Virginia "Ginny" Egeland and Jo Hobt. I have so many good and funny memories of the 3 of them! The 3 of them are greatly missed but I pictured them having a good 'old' time in Heaven! "

"I worked at the U.S. Courthouse with Rose Marie for many years. During that time, I did not leave the clerk's office without a smile on my face. Hers was a quick wit and a dry sense of humor. I am blessed to have had such a pleasant and competent friend in Rose Marie. Ann Beneke"

"GR you were a wonderful grandmother and a great friend. I always enjoyed making the family road trips to Iowa to see you. You always seemed to find a way to make me laugh no matter the situation. You were loved and will be greatly missed."

"Dear Diane, Julie & Dave: I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Rose Marie brought laughter, spunk, and style to the courthouse where we worked. She radiated beauty which was accented by her smile. After retirement, we shared phone calls and the monthly retiree luncheon where she was always up-to-date on the news, sports, and fashion. She was active, energetic, and just full of life. Even when she was faced with difficult situations, she always showed the determination and drive that Rose Marie was known for. She combined fearlessness with grace. She told me her biggest accomplishment was YOU!! She was so proud of you -- for being so kind to others and for just being "good kids" -- and all that you were contributing to the world. So while I'm going to miss my dear friend, Rose Marie, I know that she leaves behind a beautiful legacy! With My Deepest and Heartfelt Sympathy, Debby"

"Rosie, Rosie, Rosie ~ Such good memories of our growing up years in Chariton and the fun times at the Lamfers! We're keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
