Rosa was born December 1, 1913 at Tillamook, Oregon, the daughter of Alfred 
and Lina (Hunziker) Kellenberger. She died November 30, 2009 at Bandon, 
Oregon, one day shy of her 96th birthday. Rosa’s parents were farmers from 
Switzerland, who immigrated to Tillamook, Oregon, where Rosa was born. They 
later moved to Norway, Oregon, where Mr. Kellenberger was the “McNess Man.” 
Rosa graduated from Myrtle Point High School in 1933 and had played on the 
girls’ basketball team. Rosa worked as a nanny for the Arthur Berg family in 
Coquille. She worked in cartography in Los Angeles during WWII. Rosa also 
worked as a waitress for many years all around the country. 
She moved back to Coquille, where she lived for many years before moving to 
the West Wind Court Care Home in Bandon seven years ago and where she received 
wonderful and loving care. Rosa loved Russell Stover Candy, and until she 
moved to Bandon, she loved her cigarettes. Rosa is survived by a nephew Lonny 
Kellenberger of Bakersfield, California and many dear friends. She lost a baby 
boy “Mark” and a baby girl as infants. She was preceded in death by her 
husband, William Lewis; a brother, Alfred; and sisters, Martha and Gertrude, 
and two other sisters who died in infancy. Arrangements are under the 
direction of Nelson’s Bay Area Mortuary, 541/267- 4216.
