Rose Ricker
Rose (Prichard) Ricker, of St. Marys, Ohio, entered into God's eternal rest on Tuesday, May 26, 2020 at the age of 73, surrounded by her family in her home.
She was born February 16, 1947 in Idagrove, Iowa, to the late Donald & Mary (Bye) Prichard. On October 1, 1966 in Chicago, Illinois, Rose married Norbert Ricker; Norb survives at their residence in St. Marys.
Rose was blessed to have three children, Mike (Missy) Ricker of St. Marys, Stacey (Mike) Grannan of St. Marys and Melanie Watkins who passed away on October 13, 2008. Rose adored her seven grandchildren and her three great grandchildren. Siblings of Rose include, Sharon (Robert) Stapleford of Des Moines, Iowa, Robert (Linda) Prichard of Atlanta, Georgia, Jon Prichard of Sioux City, Iowa and Brad (Karen) Prichard of Martensdale, Iowa.
She was also preceded in death by a brother, Todd Prichard; and a sister, Jolean Prichard.
Rose was a 1965 graduate of Odebolt Arthur High School in Odebolt, Iowa. Rose went on to proudly serve her country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War Era. Rose was a proud mother and wife; she spent many years being a homemaker, preparing meals, and unconditionally caring for her family. She also enjoyed meeting the Norbetts at McDonalds daily.
Rose had an unwavering faith in God; she was a member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church in St. Marys, where she was active in the Altar Society. Rose's strong belief in God and her devoutness to her family supported her in her struggle through illness and ultimately gave her peace as she was embraced in the arms of the Lord.
Due to restrictions of the COVID-19 virus we will be following the guidelines set by the Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's office.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, May 28, 2020 from 4:00 pm-7:00 pm in Cisco Funeral Home, St. Marys.
A Mass of Christian Burial celebrating her life will be held the following day on May 29, 2020 at 11:00 am in Holy Rosary Church in St. Marys with Father Barry Stechschulte officiating.
