Jean Rosa, age 77, of Monroe, died Tuesday, December 10, 2002. She was born June 16, 1925 in Freeport, IL., the daughter of Clifford and Eleanor Snively. Moving to Monroe with her family, Jean graduated from Monroe High School in 1943.

Returning to Monroe they operated Rosa Florist Starflower Shop for many years. Their interest in art and architecture was reflected in the unique design in the flower shop and in their home.

Survivors include her sons, Mark (Sue) Rosa of Madison, and John (LuAnne) Rosa of Monroe.
