Also surviving is her sister Clara Pospisil. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph "Bub," 3-brothers: Frank, Chuck, and Bill Meroshek. Rose was born June 2, 1915 on the family farm in rural Linn County, the fourth of the five children of Frank and Mary Vanous Meroshek. She graduated from Lakeside Country School. Following school, she worked at various jobs including Collins Radio until her sister Clara introduced her to Joseph Pospisil. The couple married Nov. 6, 1946 and Rose settled into her most important job, that of farmwife and mother. She was known for her kolaches, hoska, noodles and Open Line Radio recipes. Rose was a member of the Jolly Workers, Club II, and St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. Rose was outspoken, most notably for her quick witted one liners. She loved listening to Sunday Morning Czech Party on the radio. Most of all she will be remembered as a doting grandmother and great grandmother. Cheers Grandma Rose! Na Zdravil! A memorial fund in Rose's honor has been established. On-line condolences may be left at www.morganfuneralchoices.com

I have very fond memories of the many times I spent on the Pospisil family farm. Rose was always so kind and hospitable to all of us. She was indeed a grand lady. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jean, Carol and John. Rose will be missed by many.
Jean–My sincere sympathy to you, to Kurt and to your whole family. It is very hard to lose a mother. And, there is something very different about losing the second parent. The heavy heart that you have today will get better in time. My sincere sympathy to Rose’s entire family. Bonnie A. Pisarik
Our condolences to the family of Rose and Bub Pospisil. Rose was such a vibrant part of the neighborhood while I was growing up. Her humor and willingness to help at whatever task will always be remembered. Fond memories of summer get-togethers and delicious Kolaches with the Pospisils come to mind. God bless you all. Earl and Linda (Burge)Freese
My deepest sympathies to you and yours, John. May the memories of your beloved mom help you through the days ahead. She lived a wonderfully long life!
We want to send our condolences to the family of Rose. We will miss her very much at the Hallmark church services. We have enjoyed knowing her. Ken and Donna McConaughy
