Services: Wed., July 13, 10:00 a.m. 

A celebration of life will be held to honor Ray Curtis Rose at Hillcrest 
Memorial Park & Mortuary on Wednesday, July 13, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. Ray was 
born November 2, 1926, in Leach Township, Illinois. He peacefully left this 
world on July 7, 2005, with his beloved four legged partner Little Man by his 
side. Ray is preceded in death by his parents, Jewell and Florence Rose and 
his beloved wife of 39 years, Mary Ruth Edwards Rose. Rays family moved to 
Shafter, CA when Ray was six weeks old. They became pioneers in the farming 
industry in Shafter. Buttonwillow and Edison. Ray graduated from Shafter High 
School in 1944. He enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve and was honorably 
discharged in 1946, after receiving a World War II Victory Medal and American 
Area Campaign Medal. Ray and brother, Willard, took over and ran the family 
farm in 1951 while their parents spread the Word of God. In 1975 Ray retired 
from farming and spent many happy days golfing with friends and family. He 
especially loved to take his young nephews along. Ray was well read and a 
historian in his own right. He was very instrumental in teaching and 
encouraging reading to his family. Those left to cherish his memory include 
his son, Robert Hatfield and daughter-in-law, Patricia; brother, Willard Rose 
and sister-in-law, Ellmetia; sister, Frances Jenkins and brother-in-law, 
Daryll; sister, Helen Holt; sister-in-laws, Johnnie Cerro, Sharon Livengood, 
June May and brother-in-law, Gerald; brother-in-law, Don Edwards and wife, 
Gwen; numerous nieces and nephews. A special thank you to Optimal Hospice for 
their loving care of our precious Ray, Amanda, Andrea and his Buddy, Anita, 
BFMC staff and Amber from Rosewood Convalescent Hospital. Ray, May the road 
rise to meet you May the wind be always at your back, May the sunshine warm 
your face, The rainfall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May 
God hold you in the palm of His hand.
