Rose Marie Salyer, 53, of Miamisburg, Ohio, was unexpectedly lost on January 13, 2025.

Rose is preceded in death by her beloved brothers, Kevin and David Shockley and nephew, Hayden Shockley. Rose is survived by her parents, Phyllis and Gary Shockley, sister, Shelia Deffenbaugh and loving aunts, uncles, and cousins that were more like siblings. She is also survived by her love, Ernest (Mylo) Washington and his family.

Her love and compassion for her family, friends and even a stranger on the street had no bounds. Not having children of her own, she became Aunt Rose or second Mom to these fortunate loved ones and many more: Kashley (Howard) Rishforth, Caleb Howard, Brooklyn and Brody Miller, Chloe Short, Austin and Cody Wright.

Her greatest love and admiration was for her mother, Phyllis. The bond between these two women was fierce, strong, loyal, and above all, enduring.

Rose was full of life, love and hope. She gave everything to help anyone in need. She opened her home, helped the elderly, gave away clothes, provided rides, made food, and helped numerous people find the community resources they needed.

She loved to spend time in creek beds finding rocks and in the woods hunting for morel mushrooms. She loved family get-togethers and to cook. Rose was always the life of the party. She will be greatly missed.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made for the funeral and to help cover other expenses incurred by her family.

Danny was a kindhearted person who was full of life. He had been a mechanic until his health failed him. He was a loving father and grandfather.

Everyone knew Richard Ellis. He worked many years at Dal Fuel which is now Atoka Fuel Stop. Richard was always there helping people. He worked as a fuel attendant and worked every weekend and every holiday. Now it is time to help him. He has no insurance or burial policy. To help Richard, make donations to Fund the Funeral or can take the donation to Brown’s Funeral Service and save the fees.
Thank you for your help.
