Funeral Announcement - Pat Diebel Roark & Charles Roark
It's with an even more broken heart that I share that our Mom passed away last Saturday morning, surrounded by her children, after what turned out to be a mercifully brief struggle with cancer.
As many of you know, we also lost our Dad last year. My parents would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a few weeks ago, and his loss was a grief almost too difficult for our Mom to bear.
We have the privilege to honor them both at a joint memorial service next week, and hope all those who loved and cared about them can join us.
Visitation Monday, Nov. 25 from 4-8pm
Prayer Service Tuesday, Nov. 26 at 12:30 at O’Halloran Murphy, followed by internment at Ft. Snelling National Cemetery.
