Helen Gwaltney Rose died Sept. 4, 2002, at Alderson's Convalescent Hospital in
Woodland. She was 78 years old.

Born Oct. 30, 1923, in Jacksonville, Ill., she was the daughter of Homer William

her husband, the late Ralph C. Gwaltney Sr., to California in 1949.

She was a homemaker who raised six children and was active in school and civic
affairs, including the PTA, Scouting, Daughters of the American Revolution and
Town and Country Club.

Following the death of her husband in 1971, she became very active in the Order
of Eastern Star and served four terms as Worthy Matron of Yolo Chapter. She
married the late William O. Rose in 1977 and together they were very active in
Masonic and community affairs. From 2000 to 2001, she served as a state officer
in the Grand Chapter of Eastern Star in California.

She was preceded in death by her first husband, Ralph C. Gwaltney Sr.; her
second husband, William O. Rose; her eldest son, George Michael Gwaltney; and
