Jean Rose
With her hand being held by family, Jean Rose, 91, died peacefully in her home on January 20, 2022, after a brief illness.
She was born in Fond du Lac on July 2, 1930, the daughter of the late Lawrence and Eola (Polzean) Bohlman.

She woke up every morning with a positive, grateful and joyful spirit. Jean was known for her kindness, generosity and wonderful sense of humor. She loved putting puzzles together and was solving “Wheel of Fortune” puzzles until only a few days before her passing.

Also left to cherish her memory are numerous nieces and nephews, 23 grandchildren, great and great-great grandchildren; brother-in-law, Robert Plummer and sister-in-law, Dorothy Bohlman.
