Obituary for Rose F. Harradine | Ryan Mortuary
May 26, 1936 ~ August 19, 2021 (age 85)
Rose F. Harradine, 85, born May 26, 1936, to Guadalupe Sanchez and Manuel Garcia, in Los Angeles, California, passed away August 19, 2021, with family by her side. Rose was born the oldest of four brothers Pedro (Pete) Garcia, Manuel Garcia, Frank Garcia, and Leo Garcia all of Los Angeles, CA. She was preceded in death by her husband George Richard Harradine Il and brother Frank Garcia.
Rose in her earlier years worked as a bank processor as well as being a daycare provider. Later in life she worked for many years as a maid for her family-owned business "The Carpet Man" cleaning houses to help provide for her family. She was a very hard worker and worked cleaning houses all the way into her 70s. She was a resilient individual who also doubled as a perfectionist when it came to her work and her family.
Rose was the most loving and caring person in the world. She was a nurturer and relished at every opportunity to be there for her family and take care of them. Constantly putting others needs before her own is what she will be remembered for the most.
Her many interests included, indulging in books for hours at a time, watching all kinds of sports from NFL to NBA, the NCAA March Madness tournament, cooking extravagant meals for her family, and going shopping with her granddaughter Sabrina. Watching her great grandkids excel in extracurricular activities like dance, baton, cheer, soccer, T-ball, singing and gymnastics, brought her the most joy. It was all about family when it came to Rose and that always remained her top priority.
Rose is survived by her son Paul Harradine of Salina, KS, son Roger Almaguer of Olathe, KS and daughter Linda Almaguer of Gainesville, VA. Her eight grandchildren include Sabrina Ramirez (Alfredo) of Salina, KS, Tyler Harradine of Salina, KS, Elisha Smith (Daniel)of Kansas City, KS, Brock Almaguer of Las Vegas, NV, Adam Almaguer of Kansas City, KS, Casandra Cox of Cary, NC, Randy Wood of Parker, KS, and Brandon Ballhagen. Rose had 11 great-grandchildren she loved and cherished very much. Others mourning her death include daughter-in-law Cheryl Closs, her husband William Closs, Brandi Jones, Mellisa Garcia and family.
A celebration of life will be held on Friday, Aug. 27 at the Friendship Center in Salina, KS from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Condolences, donations and flowers for Rose can be sent to Ryan Mortuary, 137 N. Eighth St., Salina.
