Mrs. Jarzynka was born on April 16, 1925, on the family farm south of Ashton, the daughter of George and Stella (Maciejewski) Dymek. She was united in marriage to Alvin R. Jarzynka on June 13, 1949, at Ashton. He preceded her in death on Dec. 22, 2008. She is survived by two daughters and sons-in-law, Joyce and Craig Kamler of Ashton and Deb and Lonnie Mitteis of Grand Island; three sons and daughters-in-law, Mike and Susan Jarzynka of Loup City, Gary and Rosario Jarzynka of Lincoln and Dan Jarzynka and Niki Onuoha-Jarzynka of Lincoln; and one sister, Marian Maschka of Englewood, Colorado.

Rose received all her sacraments at St. Francis Catholic Church in Ashton. Shew grew up in rural Ashton and attended District 54 rural school and St. Francis Parochial School. In 1942, she traveled by herself by train to Chicago where she worked for Lakeside Press, which manufactured catalogs and magazines. She later worked for Doyle and Company where radio transformers were manufactured. Here she met her lifelong friend, Theresa (Ruth) Hoppe. They corresponded by letters and Christmas cards until Theresa's death in 2005. Rose returned to Nebraska and worked with her sister, Domicella, at the Cornhusker Army Ammunitions Plant in Grand Island. She also worked at the Ravenna Creamery in Ravenna and Jameson's Cafe in Grand Island. After she and Alvin were married, they lived and farmed southwest of Ashton, where they raised their five children, Joyce, Michael, Gary, Debra and Daniel. The couple remained on the farm until January 2007, when they moved to Rose Lane Assisted Living Center, due to the ice storm that caused power outages for several weeks. She was a lifelong member of St. Francis Catholic Church and the Council of Catholic Women and Rosary Sodality. Rose enjoyed baking, cooking and canning for her family. She also enjoyed embroidery, gardening, listening and dancing to polka music and taking care of her grandchildren. In addition to her husband, Alvin, she was preceded in death by her parents; four sisters, Stella Moraczewski, Domicella Jarzynka, Celia Ignowski and Lucille Gappa; and five brothers, Hubert, Albert, Harry, Daniel and Edwin Dymek. Memorials are suggested to the family's choice.
