Maryrose "Rorry" Hope

October 15, 1939 - March 31,2026

So many bumps in this life—it was still a celebration. The gift of my five children is by far my greatest accomplishment: Darrell, Brian, Danny, Beth Ann (passed in 2012), and Malissa. These precious children blessed me with nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. I was a person of faith and truly lived in the moment. In the end, you must know faith and love—you can never have too much, as long as it’s shared. Thank you, Lord, for always keeping my head just above the waterline. Take care of my precious family until we see each other again. Please, no funeral—just commit my ashes to the ocean I loved (hope one of you still has a boat).

Love you more than life,

Mom
