Rose Hackworth Obituary
Rose Ellen "Rosie" Hackworth, 81, of Vanlue, met her Lord and Savior at 12:18 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023, at Blanchard Valley Hospital, Findlay.
Rosie was born May 21, 1942, in Johnson County, Kentucky, the daughter of Kay and Alma (Baldwin) Spradlin. While attending Stony Ridge Church in May, 1960, Rosie met Doug Hackworth and six months later on Nov. 12, 1960, they were married. Doug preceded her in death Sept. 28, 2023.
Rosie was all about her family and was considered the "Family Anchor." She absolutely loved being a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She enjoyed all aspects of gardening, all the way down to canning. For relaxation, she would grab the fishing pole, do some sewing, or work on a quilt.
A woman of faith, she was a member of Stony Ridge Church for over 65 years and was involved with many facets of the church. Rosie retired from Whirlpool Corp. in 2004 after 20 years of service.
Rosie will be missed by her children, Ted Douglas Hackworth and Rebecca Ellen (Kevin) Short; two grandchildren, Wesley (Leah) Short and Caleb (Amy) Short; two great-grandchildren, Everlee Rose and Sienna Joy Short; and two sisters, Opal Traxler and Lura Tipton.
Rosie was also preceded in death by her parents; and seven siblings, James Spradlin, Kerra Spradlin, Phillip Spradlin, Sylvia Dyer, Mae Salyer, Mary Kay Spradlin, and Martha Gay Spradlin.
