Rose E Bovard

I courageously battled cancer for over 12 years. On April 17, 2015 I went home to be with the Lord.

I will be joining my beloved husband Art who is dearest to my heart.

I was born June 28, 1936 in Akron Ohio to Rose and William Kelley.
Every girl should have the gift of 2 loving brothers like mine, Jack Kelley and Frank Kelley. They protected me, teased me, spoiled me and loved me. Special prayers and love to Jane Kelley and Judy Kelley my sister in laws, we share a myriad of memories and love for my dear brothers and our family.

I was employed by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company as an executive secretary. I had an amazing career which I loved and met my dearest friends. I love you girls and cherish our friendship. I look forward to seeing you again.

I am survived by my 3 children, Barbara Keefe, Mary Lou Smith, Ralph Tierney and his wife Tari Tierney. You are so precious to me. I have been blessed with ten grandchildren, Terresa Maas, Anthony Maas, Casey Keefe, Amanda Smith, Stephen Tierney, Allison Moore, Evan Tierney and fiancé Jessica Rhoads, Shawn Tierney and his wife Carrie, Megan Tierney and Morgan Boyko.
My grandchildren have delighted me with 8 great grandchildren.

I leave behind many beloved relatives and will wait for your arrival.
A special thank you to the compassionate Summa Hospice staff who supported my family.

Grace Bible Church has been an inspiration and the loving members have loved me through the journey.

Please join my family to celebrate my life with Pastors Cary Duckett and Jerry Harpool Friday, April 24th at 11:00 am at Grace Bible Church 5781 Manchester Road Akron Ohio 44319.grace-bible church.org Memorial donations can be made to; caringbridge.org/visit/Isaiah Truman.
