Rosanna Grace Showalter

Rosanna Grace Showalter, age 40 years, 27 days, of Fredericksburg, PA entered into eternal rest on May 25, 2024, at her home. She was born April 28, 1984, in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. She was adopted by her mother, Mildred (Huber) Showalter, when she was 9 months old. They lived in Honduras until Rose was 3 years old. She then moved with her mother and two sisters to Ontario, Canada, and later relocated to Tennessee. While in TN, Mildred married widower David Showalter, and Rose and her two sisters were adopted by him, thus joining the two families. They settled at Breckinridge, KY. Rose gave her heart to the Lord at a young age and was baptized. She joined the fellowship of the church and has been a faithful member. In her early 20’s Rose worked in Metter, GA for a time and then moved to Gleason, WI, where her parents had relocated. She took care of foster children during the several years she was there. She moved to Pennsylvania in 2010, where she became a member of Providence Mennonite Church. She worked at various jobs, but her greatest joy was to serve as a nurse and caregiver at Kindred Place in Harrisburg, where she was greatly loved by residents and staff. She will be remembered by all for her joy of living and her cheerful service to friends and family. Rose is survived by her mother Mildred (Huber) Showalter of Gleason, WI; her nine siblings: Joseph (Rosemary) Showalter of West Liberty, KY; Jonathan (Freida) Showalter of Gleason, WI; Daniel (Marian) Showalter of Martha, KY; James (Elfreda) Showalter of Aztec, NM; Joyanna (Walter) Martin of Lucedale, MS; Ivy (Allen) Steiner of Straffordville, ON; Jennifer Showalter of Fredericksburg, PA; Eunice (Harlan) Witmer of Arlington, VT; and Ethan (Caroline) Showalter of West Liberty, KY.
