RoJean and I sort of grew up together through high school and junior high. She shared a Girl Scout Troop with me and several other of our 61 classmates. Always opinionated and not afraid to share her beliefs, she was a dear, non the less. Rest in God's arms dear friend. Gloria Kowrack Schmidt

I remember RoJean's feisty personality! Gone too soon. R.I.P.Violet E. Marks (Baker)
RoJean and I shared many lunch times together when I was working at Paramount Laundry - I would walk over to her house and enjoy lively conversations. So sorry to lose her here on earth - condolences to her family.

I remember RoJean from grade school as well as from Lincoln High. She was always a fun-loving and happy girl. Rest in peace, dear friend.

RoJean was an absolute stitch - as in funny. I took several classes with her each time sitting to her side or behind her. She always has something to say - always funny and sometimes she might "put me in my place" with a subtle comment - well, maybe not always subtle. I am so sorry for her passing as I feel a real loss. Thank you RoJean for many years of friendship as you are a special person. Todd
