Jean S. Rose
March 13, 1932 ~ January 6, 2020
Jean S. Rose of Oakton, Virginia passed away peacefully at home on January 6, 2020.

Born and raised in Hanging Rock, West Virginia, Jean moved to the Northern Virginia area at 16, where she took her first job at the 29 Diner on Lee Highway in Fairfax. While there, she met the love of her life and future husband Irv, and began her long career in the Federal government. She worked and traveled the world until her second retirement.
After Jean’s retirement she delighted in bowling, raising orchids, and spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was an active member of the Oakton Church of the Brethren and the Trevor House Homeowners’ Association. She enjoyed following her favorite Washington-area teams, the Nationals and the Redskins, as well as being a good luck charm at her own family’s sporting events.

I will really miss Jean. She was a very faithful member of Oakton Church of the Brethren and a wonderful “behind-the-scenes” volunteer. Love and prayers for all of her family and friends!
A candle was lit for the decedent.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Ms. Rose was my favorite customer. I will certainly miss speaking to her. May your family find peace and comfort.
