Obituary of Rose Marie Akers

After a season of battles and fights, long days and longer nights, Rose’s last petal descended as lightly as a feather to the floor. On July 29, 2023, Rose Marie Akers, aged 70, peacefully passed away in Mesa, Arizona. A remarkable mother to her children, Ricky and Steven, Rose's legacy remains undeniably profound.

Rose was a world traveler. She went on countless adventures around the world and always had a new cruise lined up for next year. Her compassion and sweetness affected everyone around her down to the last minutes of her life. Rose was a compassionate and caring mother who encouraged and supported her children to no end.

As we gather to pay our respects at the upcoming funeral, please feel free to dress formally or opt for a Hawaiian shirt to honor Rose’s vibrant spirit—both choices are perfectly acceptable. What truly matters is your presence and sincerity. Show your respect in a way that resonates with you, as we come together to honor and remember.
