JESUP --- Rose Grace Buhrow, 81 years old, of Jesup, died Wednesday, January 9, 2008 at her son Richard's home in Wylie, Texas, following a lengthy illness. She was born February 27, 1926, at Independence, the daughter of Matt Kremer and Matilda Catherine (Lardy) Kremer. She attended school in Jesup. On July 6, 1944, she was united in marriage to Paul Leslie Buhrow in Waterloo. They have made their home in or near Jesup most of their married life. Rose was an active member of St. Athanasius Catholic Church in Jesup and instrumental in the organization of a neighborhood rosary group still actively meeting after 25 years. Rose will be lovingly remembered for her many creative talents which she expressed through sewing, baking, story telling and song.
