Obituary for Elva Rosalie Grove (Brough)

Born December 12, 1926 in Spruce Pine Hollow, Morgan County, she was the daughter of the late James Brough and Rose P. Kesecker Brough.
Rosalie was a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother who cherished spending time with her loved ones, friends and church family. She always had a smile on her face, never complained and selfless. Rosalie brightened the day of everyone she met. She was a true “lady” in every sense of the word.
She was affectionately called “Maw” and “Grover” by her children and grandchildren. She was a great cook who cherished preparing dinner every Sunday for her family. Pies were her specialty and were savored by everyone.
She was a faithful member of the Vanville Church of Christ where she and her husband dutifully served as treasurer for decades.
