Donald Rose

Donald worked as an accountant for the University of Missouri until his retirement. He enjoyed his life; pursuing many avocations. These include hunting, collecting, and sport shooting with his friends. He was active in local sport clubs and enjoyed life with his many friends.

Donald was a people person, slow to give advice, but good advice he gave. He had a heart for people and helped many. Forgiving in spirit, he forgave and moved on. He lived life to his fullest through many health difficulties. These served as an example to all of perseverance through difficulty.

Don’s departure, so sudden, leaves a void, not soon filled.

Survivors include his wife, Helen Rose; sister, Anita S. Shuey; brothers, Kenneth R. Rainey and Gary L. Rainey; niece, Denise L. Pyles; nephew, Randolph Latall and numerous cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, his step father, William L. Farris and his grandparents, Bertha and Henry Holzhauser.
