Rose Cecilia Kavanaugh, age 96 of Randolph, died Tuesday April 30, 2019 at Colonial Manor of Randolph. She was born April 12, 1923 on the family farm north of Randolph the daughter of Peter and Ottilia (Kunz) Korth. She attended Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic School in Randolph. Rose was a hard working farm girl, always helping her parents or brothers wherever needed.

Rose married Merele Peter Kavanaugh November 19, 1946 at Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic Church in Randolph. They farmed for one year one mile east of Randolph and then moved to a farm southeast of Belden where they stayed for 44 years. Rose always helped with the farm duties.

While living in the Belden area Rose and Merele were members of Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Belden, where Rose was a member of Altar Society, a Lector and on an Omaha Archdiocesan committee. She belonged to a ladies bowling team and enjoyed playing cards with neighbors and going to Big Band dances with Merele.

After retiring Rose and Merele moved to Randolph in 1987. They became members of Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic Church where Rose was a member of P.C.C.W., Quilting ladies. She belonged to Christian Mothers for over 50 years.
