Rose Mary Stuckey can be described as a mother, a wife, a grandmother, an aunt, a friend, caring, funny, full of life, tenacious, and so much more. The word to describe her this past year would be resilient. Our resilient Rose Mary Stuckey, age 75, of Boone, Iowa, lost her long battle with cancer on August 5th, 2022.

To Rose Mary’s family.
Rose Mary & I knew eachother for many years. We came together when she saw me getting my chemo
infusion at the cancer center in Ames. We shared our experiences & she selflessly offered advice about dealing with the side affects of all the drugs. I am grateful for her company & friendship during our journey.
Regards & sympathy,
Marlys Craven
