Kristi An Rose


March 11, 1978 - May 7, 2009

Kristi An Rose, 31, Greentown, passed away Thursday, May 7, 2009. She was born March 11, 1978, in Kokomo, the daughter of Sherill (Groves) Hill and Fred Rose. She was a graduate of Northwestern High School and attended IUK.

Kristi took time to enjoy the beauties that nature had to offer. The flowers, the water, the sun, the moon and the stars would make her feel at peace. Everyone enjoyed her one of a kind sense of humor, she was just that special of a person. You would know when she entered the room, she had a way of lighting it up. Fishing, music, and dancing were other activities she loved. She would photograph her friends and family, and capture their happiness. She was a fan of the arts and shared her paintings, sculptures, and drawings with others. Most of all, Kristi enjoyed spending time with her loved ones and didn’t hesitate to put their needs before her own until her physical pain became too great to endure.

Surviving are her parents, Fred Rose and Sherill Hill; two brothers, Thomas Rose and Michael Rose; sister-in-law, Stacey Rose; grandmother, Marion Groves; two nieces, Isis Rose and Ryelynn Rose; and many special aunts, uncles, and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Thomas Rose and Clifford Groves; grandmother, Melzena Rose; and stepfather, Michael Hill.

A special gathering to enjoy Kristi’s life will be scheduled at a later date. Ellers Mortuary Main Street assisted the family with arrangements. Online condolences may be made to the Rose family at www.ellers
