Obituary for Rosalind Rita Jennett

In Loving Memory
Rosalind Rita Jennett, a longtime resident of Arizona, died peacefully on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016 at Friendship Village, in Tempe.
Rosalind (Roz, as her friends liked to call her) was 94 years old and was with her beloved son at the time of her death.
Rosalind lived a full, rich and flavorful life. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Sept. 14, 1921 to Leo J. and Helen B. Sauer. She spent her early years in Bellevue, Ky. and after her mother’s death in 1936 moved to Glendale, Calif. where she lived with her father and three brothers. She was married to Leo P. Jennett on Nov. 17, 1939 in Enumclaw, Wash. and shared 49 years of marriage with the man of her dreams.
With her husband’s job, Roz moved numerous times from north to south and east to west. After an overseas job in Venezuela, Roz and Leo retired in Payson, Ariz. Roz was an active volunteer with the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store and Senior Center and stayed involved with her church activities. Roz was a classy dresser, a prolific and successful bridge player, and a creative artist. She traveled extensively to see her family and new sights. She loved her morning breakfast, her soup hot and her diamonds to sparkle. Rosalind dedicated her life to her husband and children. She was a proud grandmother and was the first one to highlight on one’s accomplishments.
Rosalind is survived by her children, Bonnie J. Hickey of Omaha, Neb., Patrick and Judy Jennett of Folsom, Calif., Veronica M. Earley of Chesterton, Ind. and Theresa and Chris Kohlmeier of Logan, Utah; her 10 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. Her nephews, nieces and friends all brought great joy to her as well.
She was predeceased by Leo P. Jennett, who died on April 5, 1989; her granddaughter, Jill Rosalind Hickey, Sept. 7, 1989; and her three brothers, Leo, George and Paul Sauer.
Thank you to the staff at Friendship Village, to her nephew Dan and his family and to everyone who always looked out for Rosalind by providing their prayers, attention and love.
