Rose T. Stevens

Rose T. Stevens, 84, of Fremont, Ohio passed from this life on to her new life with Christ on September 2, 2015. Rose was born in Bellevue, Ohio on October 2, 1930 to the late Rocco and Carmella (Baptista) Serraino. Rose graduated from Bellevue High School in 1948. On June 27, 1953 she married Richard L. Stevens at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Bellevue, Ohio with the happy couple settling in Gibsonburg, Ohio to raise their family. Rose enjoyed being a homemaker throughout her marriage and in 1981 went to work at Otterbein Portage Valley Care Center in Pemberville, Ohio. She retired from Portage Valley after 10 years of service treating all the patients she took care of as if they were her own parents. Upon retirement Rose and Richard moved to Las Vegas where they enjoyed life together for 20 more years. After her beloved Richard passed to the next life in 2010, Rose chose to return to Ohio in February of 2014 to spend time with her family. Rose is survived by her children, Michael Stevens, Las Vegas, Patti Hoffman, Gibsonburg and Roxanne Saba, Point Place, Ohio; her grandchildren: Jessica Stevens; Kori, Krystle, Tyler (Jen) and Troy Hoffman; Jody Hutchinson, Dustin (Brooke) and Nick Moll. Rose's greatest joy in her last year came from playing games and spending time with her great grandchildren, Dominic Lindenberger, Braysen Huff and Brynn Hoffman. Rose's final resting place will be at St. Michael & St. Lawrence Cemetery in Gibsonburg, where she and Richard will be buried together. There will be a Memorial Mass at St. Michael Catholic Church 317 E. Madison Street, Gibsonburg on her birthday October 2, 2015 at 10:00 am with Fr. Jacob Gordon celebrating. The family will receive guests one hour prior to mass in the church followed by a luncheon in the parish hall. Family and friends who cannot attend the mass or luncheon are invited to a Celebration of Life beginning at 4:00pm in the parish hall to share stories and memories of Rose with the family. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to St. Michael Youth.
