Rose Dredge Ward passed away at the age of 92 on Monday, Feb. 22, 2010, at the home of her grandchildren Bryan and Jodi Bartschi in Wilford, where they tenderly cared for her for the past five months.
She was born Sept, 11, 1917, to Jessie H. Dredge and Nellie Martha Kunz in Malad. She was the 10th of 15 children. She attended schools in Malad and Utah State Agriculture College at Logan. She later traveled to New York and received her license as an electrologist.
She married her neighbor and childhood friend, Rulon A. Ward, on Oct. 20, 1936, in the Logan, Utah, LDS temple. They lived in Snowville, Utah, for 37 years where they ranched and raised their family. They then moved to Santa Clara, Utah, and lived there for the next 20 years. Rose was an avid gardener and loved beautiful flower gardens. She took great pride in a well kept yard and home.
She worked as a nurse's aide at the Dixie Medical Center in the newborn nursery, which she enjoyed very much. She belonged to the Dixie Literary Club and delighted in giving descriptive book reviews. She was also an active member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and enjoyed her association with so many good people.
She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many church callings throughout her life. She was an influential teacher and loved the youth she served. She enjoyed attending the temple as often as possible. She served in the St. George Utah Temple for 13 years. She and Rulon enjoyed traveling and were privileged to spend time in Switzerland, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii and the Caribbean. Due to declining health, in 1991 they sold their home in Santa Clara and moved to Sugar City where they felt welcome and at home for their remaining years.
Rose is survived by three of her children, Karolyn (Arlin) Bartschi of Sugar City, Sheila (Spencer) Daines of South Jordan, Utah, and George (Sheila) Ward of St. George, Utah; two sisters, Norma Hill of St. George and Elaine Mills of Malad; four daughters-in-law, Marylynn Spahr of Malad, Rebecca Brockbank of Bluffdale, Utah, Julia Ward of Spanish Fork, Utah, and Barbara Atkin of St. George.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Rulon A. Ward; two sons, David R. Ward and Allen D. Ward; granddaughter Rosanne Bartschi and three great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, March 1, 2010, at the Sugar City LDS Stake Center with Bishop Russell Thurston officiating. Friends may call Sunday evening from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Flamm Funeral Home in Rexburg and Monday prior to services from noon to 12:45 p.m. at the stake center. Interment will be in the Sugar City Cemetery.
A special thanks to the staff of Hospice Alliance for their care and service to our dear mother and grandmother. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the LDS Humanitarian Fund, Missionary Fund or Perpetual Education Fund.
