Rose A. Huffer

Rose Annette Huffer, 86, of Monticello, peacefully passed away on April 28, 2026, at Monticello Healthcare.

She was born on October 5, 1939, in Frankfort, Indiana to the late Julius Red and Myrtle Violet (Dyer) Parke.

Rose graduated from Frankfort High School in 1957 and carried her warm spirit and strong faith that touched all who knew her. In 2001, she made her home in Buffalo and remained a devoted member of the Tippecanoe Christian Church, where she found great joy in worship, fellowship, ladies’ Bible study, and sharing her gift of music by playing the piano for her church family.

Rose worked faithfully at Peters Revington from 1978 until her retirement in 20001. She had a deep love for music and was once a member of a band, delighting others with her piano playing and joyful spirit. She was also a talented artist who loved to draw, and she enjoyed watching NASCAR races, visiting the casino boat and Las Vegas, playing the slot machines.

Among Rose’s greatest joys were her beloved dog, Bailey, and the may lunches and laughter shared at Golden Corral with her treasured friends Sue and Ann, with whom she worked with at Peters Revington. Her humor and vibrant personality made lasing impressions on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

She is survived by her daughter, Wendy Clark of Peru; a son; special friends, Jody Connell (wife Becky) of Monticello and Jason Clesle ( wife Coleen) of Monon and two loving grandchildren, Maycon James and Ralph Overman II.

Along with her parents, Rose is preceded in death by a brother, Buster Parke and her fiancé, Dick Limback.

Visitation will be on Monday, May 4, 2026, from 11:00am until time of services celebrating Rose’s life at 1:00 pm at Roscka Roth & Clapper Funeral Home in Monticello, Indiana.

Burial will follow at Salem St. James Cemetery in Francesville, Indiana.
