Rose Ann Marie “Rose” Broeg, 65, of Burlington passed away on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, at the Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center in West Burlington.
Rose was born on December 2, 1958, in Burlington, the daughter of Richard and Mary (Garrett) Broeg. She had a daughter and two sons whom she loved “bigger than the moon and hotter than the sun”. Rose was a resident of the Walton House of Hope Haven, where she spent her time watching movies, gossiping with other residents and doing puzzle books. She was particularly good at finding the names of her children in the word searches. Rose loved pizza dates and would never turn down a trip to the Dairy Queen. She was a member of the Sunnyside Baptist Church and looked forward to church services each week. Rose faced life’s challenges with strength, courage and resiliency. Rose will be remembered as a compassionate mother, great sister and a dear friend.
Rose is survived by her children, Dez (Lily) Broeg, of Aurelia, Iowa, Martan Broeg, of Mt. Pleasant and Mattie Broeg, seven grandchildren, her brothers and sisters, Richard (Mary) Broeg, of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, Michael Broeg, of Harrison, Arkansas, Thomas Broeg, of Edgewood, Kentucky, Mary (David) Wagner of San Jose, California, Janet Ramsdell of Burlington, Sandy (Don Verkruyse) Broeg of Burlington and Carole Miller, of Payson, Arizona, along with several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, a sister, Linda Szabady and two brother-in-law’s, Todd Miller and Ron Ransdell.
