BIOGRAPHIES

     MARGARET ROSE RICKETTS MENCER

"ROSIE"

Margaret Rose " Rosie" 

the first daughter, first child to 

Margaret Louise Pumphrey and

 William Thomas Ricketts, Sr.

Married to Norman Mencer 

on Nov. 20, 1970.  

Two children: Aprel Ann Mencer Greene

 and Christopher Mencer,

 four grandchildren.

Rosie loved life!  A devoted mother, wife, sister and daughter.  Always looking out for her family members and their well being. Her interests were teaching Sunday School and working for Queen Anne School.  She was adamant about her children attending church, Sunday School, and that they participated as good citizens in their community.

 Rosie loved cooking and creating new recipes.  She loved food!  She always brought a new taste treat home for her family to try.  Rosie was an active member of the Epiphany Church Women and the group would cater weddings and other events. You could always count on Rosie to bring a different jello salad to every occasion we celebrated. If the church ladies were trying something new...well so were we!!  

Her hobbies and interests consisted of painting, crafting and playing a good prank on you.  If one of her siblings were screaming with fright...not to worry...they had been pranked by "Sissy."

Sissy was the peacemaker in the family.  It just never mattered to her what happened, get it straightened out and get on with the business of living and loving your family!  Her motto:  "If you aren't living life to the fullest, you're taking up too much space!"

Sadly, Rosie passed away on 

October 23, 1992.  She would have loved being a "Grandma."

Our family will forever miss this wonderfully funny, mischievous,

kind, compassionate and loving woman!
