Rose Earlene Rowe

BENTON – Rose Earlene Rowe, 65, went home to be with the Lord on Dec. 3, 2021, following a brief illness.

She was born in Waterville on Aug. 16, 1956, the daughter of the late Everett and Theresa (Buotte) Rowe.

Rose was a graduate of Lawrence High School in Fairfield, class of 1974. Her past employment included Hathaway Shirt Co., Yard Goods Center of Waterville, and was a housekeeper for several years. She also volunteered as an EMT for the town of Unity, and volunteered for the Red Cross, assisting victims of fire and automobile accidents by bringing them blankets, clothing, toys for the children, and mostly words of comfort.

Rose was a wonderful seamstress and did some crocheting. She loved to read novels, and research books about archeology, gemstones, or antiques. She enjoyed playing Bingo, playing cards with her dear friend, Earline Bickford, going shopping with her aunt, Dot Veilleux, and trips to the beach with her cousin, Danielle Marcoux.

Rose loved to go metal detecting and hunting for gemstones. She enjoyed going to auctions, and lawn sales with her good friend, Wayne Fitch. Some of her other adventures included flying lessons, driving a race car at Unity Raceway, trips to Belfast to enjoy the ocean, and she became a member of a gem club here in Maine. She was kind, funny, intuitive, adventurous, loving, outgoing, and had a sparkling personality.

She loved the Lord, and was baptized together with her daughter, Jenn, in the summer of 1998, at Lake St. George. She was loved by many and will be greatly missed.

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, David Rowe.



Rose will be sadly missed by her daughter, Jenn Davis, and her husband, Kurt; her grandchildren, Kayla Flewelling and her husband, Josiah, Sara Dumont and her husband, Nicholas, Brandon Davis, Amber Davis and her fiancé, Tyler Brown, Emily Davis, Samuel Davis, and Camden Davis; her great grandchildren, Lily, Emelia, Diana, Camille, Grayson, and Aspen; and, many loving cousins, and extended family members.

The family wishes to thank Sebasticook Valley Hospital in Pittsfield for taking such good care of her.

A celebration of her life will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 22 at East Benton Christian Church, 500 East Benton Road in Benton. Burial will be in the spring at St. Francis Cemetery in Waterville.

Arrangements are in the care of the Lawry Brothers Funeral Home, 107 Main St. Fairfield where condolences may be shared with the family on the obituary page of the website at http://www.familyfirstfuneralhomes.com.
