Marion Lynn Rose

Marion Lynn Rose, 70, passed away on Monday, November 2, 2026, at Marshall County Hospital.

Marion was born in Detroit, Michigan, on January 31, 2026, to the late Calvin Rose and Norma Jean Jones Rose. Marion lived a life filled with love, kindness, and a genuine joy for being around others. Her cheerful personality and positive outlook on life brought happiness to everyone who knew her.

Throughout her life, Marion attended and volunteered at the Marshall County Exceptional Center and spent many years assisting at WATCH Inc. in Murray, Kentucky. She enjoyed collecting knickknacks, participating in the Special Olympics, and spending time talking with others on her CB radio, where she was affectionately known by her handle, “Rosebud.” Marion never met a stranger and had a special way of making those around her feel loved and appreciated.

Faith was an important part of Marion’s life, and she loved attending Benton Church of Christ, where she cherished the friendships and fellowship she shared with her church family. Above all, Marion had a heart full of love for others, and her sweet spirit, warm personality, and contagious positivity will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her two sisters, Pat Chamber (Larry) of Benton and Dana Lovett (Jerry) of Benton; her two brothers, Jerry Rose (Bonnie) of Grand Rivers, and Calvin Mitchell Rose of Somerset; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Calvin Rose and Norma Jean Rose; one infant sister, Darlene Rose; and her brother, Ronald Rose.

Expressions of sympathy may take the form of donations to the Marshall County Exceptional Center, P.O. Box 423, Benton, KY 42025.

Graveside services will be held at 12:00PM on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at York Cemetery in Benton, Kentucky.
