Obituary

Dr. Jack Lee Rose, 92, of Farmington, Arkansas passed away on Friday, November 24, 2017. Born January 20, 1925 in Nara Visa, New Mexico, Jack served in the Navy during World War II, then practiced as an optometrist for over 50 years in the Texas communities of Memphis, Shamrock, and Possum Kingdom Lake.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents, a stepmother, two brothers, a father-in-law and mother-in-law, a brother-in-law and sister-in-law, a niece, a daughter-in-law, and his first grandson Allan “Trey” Carleton (survived by wife Lori).

He leaves behind his best friend and loving wife of 70 years, Betty Rose. Other survivors include two sons: David Rose and wife Cheryl of Farmington and Bruce Rose and wife Elaine of Arlington, Texas; a daughter Vicki and husband Allan Carleton of Springfield, Ohio; four grandchildren: Amber (Sean) Squire, Nathan (Ayoola) Carleton, Allison (Kyle) Washler, Amanda (Trevor) Stanley; and seven great-grandchildren: Jacob and Jacqueline Carleton, Brielle, Ellasyn, and Toby Squire, and Tai and Priya Carleton.

Jack was a sweet, honorable, and fun-loving man who made friends wherever he happened to be. A notorious jokester, he always enjoyed activity, whether it was handiwork, boating, skiing, fishing, golf, reading, dominoes, spoiling his beloved Poodle or Yorkie, or roughhousing with his great-grandchildren.

Jack served as a Baptist church deacon for more than 60 years, most recently at Farmington’s Main Street Baptist Church. Once asked to name what he was most proud of in his life, he said it was that all of his children and grandchildren loved Jesus.

Services will be held Thursday, November 30 at 10am at Main Street Baptist. Betty and Jack’s friend, the Reverend Preston Beeks, will officiate. Memorials may be made to Main Street Baptist Church or the Fisher House (www.fisherhouse.org)
