Rose "Rosie" Peel

Rose ‘Rosie’ Peel went to be with her Lord on Monday, June 22 at her second home at Homewood in Frederick.  She was preceded by her husband Robert J. Peel who went to be with the Lord in 2004.

Rose was born March 22, 1917 in Allentown, PA.  She was the daughter of Victor Nagle and Harriet Heath Nagle.  She served honorably in the U.S. Army from 1943 to 1946.

Rose was a lady with a servant’s heart and spent many years caring for her sister Dorothy.

She was a very active member of Frederick Alliance Church and attended almost every Sunday until about one month ago.  She loved studying the Scriptures and enjoyed the Women’s Bible Study.  Rose was a regular supporter of the church, the Gideon’s and Child Evangelism.

Surviving her are nieces, Mary Ann Tremba, and her husband, Edward, and Jacqueline Schaffer all of Allentown, PA.  Funeral services will be held at Frederick Alliance Church, 1631 Opossumtown Pike, Frederick, Thursday, June 25 at 1 p.m.  A brief viewing will be available for the family and close friends from 12 – 1 p.m. prior to the funeral.

Rosie will be missed greatly by her friends and staff of Homewood.  They were her family for the past 5 years.  Her smile, love for the Lord and for others, and her everlasting energy will be missed by her special family at Frederick Alliance Church.

Interment will be in Resthaven Memorial Gardens.  But don’t look for her there!!  ‘We know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.  2 Corinthians 5:1  You will find Rose there.
