Mary Rose (Falter) Rohr age 98 passed away on Wednesday March 3, 2021. She was born June 8, 1922 in Cleveland, Ohio, the first child born of Stella and Clement Falter. As a young baby her family relocated to Fostoria, Ohio. She lived there through her high school years and attended St. Wendelin Catholic School, where she was Salutatorian of her Senior Class. Upon her graduation, she moved to Toledo, Ohio and furthered her studies at Mercy Hospital School of Nursing, earning her degree as a Registered Nurse specializing in Surgical Nursing. She married Frank Leonard Rohr on April 26, 1947. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary prior to Frank’s death in 1998. Mary Rose is survived by their three children, John (Chris) Rohr of Charlotte, NC, Jean (Dale) Brose of Monroe, MI, and Joyce (John) Irwin of Sylvania, 9 grandchildren and was awaiting the birth of her 16th great grandchild in May, 2021. She will be remembered for her devotion to the Blessed Virgin and her love of family.

She was an active leader of the KCettes Council 3122, where Frank served as Grand Knight. Later in life Mary Rose and Frank moved to St. Clement Parish and Mary Rose renewed her love to sing and joined the Church Choir, where she sang for over 10 years.
