Rose Anne Campbell

Rose Ann Campbell, 81 of Indian River, Michigan, was called back to God Saturday, July 13, 2024, at the family home that she and her husband built.

 Born on June 28, 1943, in Cheboygan, she was the daughter of Alex and Ethel (Boursaw) McCoy. 

 Rose worked many years in the food service department at Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey and for several years at Cheboygan Memorial Hospital.

 She was a longtime member of Living Waters Methodist Church (formerly Indian River United Methodist Church). Rose was strong in her Christian faith, reading from her many bibles daily. Rose was also an avid reader and she enjoyed dancing.

 Her first love was her family, with whom she enjoyed any opportunity to spend time. She was the pillar of her family, touching so many people’s lives. Her family and friends will long remember her contagious laugh. 

 Rose was proud of her Native American heritage and a proud member of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians. Seeing her family also involved in the tribe brought her joy
