Rose Marie Unruh Boehs was born January 6, 1925, to Jacob J.C. and Susie Nichols Unruh near Galva, Kansas. She peacefully passed away in the Fairview Fellowship Home on September 25, 2015, in Fairview, Oklahoma. At the age of two she moved with her parents to a farm near Greensburg, Kansas. She was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite on December 21, 1937. She graduated Greensburg High School in April of 1939. After graduation, Rose worked in a variety of bookkeeping jobs.
She married Leonard Boehs of Fairview, Oklahoma on November 23, 1947. Soon after marriage, she resumed her bookkeeping career with the Reames-Boehs Minneapolis-Moline dealership. In 1976, Leonard started his own business, Boehs Repair and once again she was “keeping the books”. Summers were spent following the wheat harvest from Oklahoma to Montana. Mom possessed the beautiful grace of acceptance when faced with difficulties and changes in life. In 2011 she chose to move into the rest home and embraced it as home. She always appreciated the loving care received there. The Lord was her Rock and Comfort and she often turned to Him in prayer. Her prayers will continue to be felt. Home and family were important to her. Phone calls to her children were a daily occurrence. At the age of 71, she travelled to Harare, Zimbabwe, Africa to visit Tim, Anne and family, including their new son Fadzi (Chad David).
