“Grace Lyon Rose, age 91, of Mauk Ridge, Elliott County, Kentucky, passed away Wednesday, September 9, 2009, at her home while surrounded by family and friends.

Grace was born May 25, 1919, in Elliott County, Kentucky, daughter of the late George and Lucinda Cox Lyon. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by two sisters, Edna Lyon and Ottie McGuire; a brother, Rex McDowell; two sons, Leonard and Paul Rose; and her husband, Earnest William Rose, who passed away July 25, 1969.

The family gives special thanks to Grace's special caregivers, Helen Riddle, Karen Smith, Roy Ison, Lucy Horton, and St. Claire Regional Medical Center's Home Health.

Grace was a homemaker and of the Baptist faith. She spent many years of her life quilting, canning, and helping her neighbors in many ways. She loved gardening, raising chickens, and most of all—her nine children.
