Rose Mary Jarnovich Clem was born on Strawberry Hill to Stanley and Anna Jarnovich. Friends and family loved her and handed out numerous endearing nicknames shared here.
In 1951, Rosie met the love of her life, Billy Clem. She always said the Armourdale flood washed Billy up to her front porch. Billy & The Bush dated for four years and got married right after Rosie graduated from Ward. They settled in Turner and had three children Martin, Mitchell and Kimberly. Rosie took great pride in running the show and her “Cubs” all over town.
She beamed at being Billy’s wife as he dominated wheelchair basketball all the way to the Hall of Fame. Billy & Rosie were married 63 years until his passing in 2015. At that point, Rose Mary decided that life was short. She play hard and lived life to the fullest. She was known as a “frequent flyer” at Longhorn Steakhouse, Johnny’s Tavern, IHOP, J. Alexander’s, Cascone's, and Olive Garden.
She made friends wherever she went and would shut the bar down on a school night. If you dined with her, you knew she was fussy with her food and drink orders: Seared-not-grilled chicken, salmon, or chopped steak. Bring out half the desert with dinner. Put the other half in a to-go box.
She recently pulled an all-nighter on a party bus. She named her car “Marilyn.” And some called her “Hollywood” because of the huge sunglasses she wore day *and* night. Outside *and* inside.
Most of all…
She was not afraid of anything and would let you know it was because Jesus was with her at all times. She often would find dimes on the ground and professed it was “dimes from Billy” in heaven.
After Billy passed, she moved to a 55+ community in Olathe. There, she reinvented herself as an avid card and domino player. She spent most nights playing till sunrise.
She loved these times and the ladies she played with. It was a fun time for her. She always said her apartment was just a place for her to sleep, because she was always on the go.
And she did just that. At her first checkup, the doc said, “Rose Mary, you are a miracle.” Her determination to stay strong and independent kicked in once again. A miracle was an understatement. She was a loving, devoted, caring Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and friend.
She had an impact on each and everyone she met. She was fiery, feisty, optimistic and had a great sense of humor. She was a really great dancer and enjoyed singing.
Mom, go and be with Jesus and Dad and dance like no one is watching. We love and will miss you eternally.
”Bye for now”
She was proceeded in death by her husband, parents and two sisters. She leaves behind her three children: Marty (Deb), Mitch (Lana), and Kim Boggs (Jamie).
Five Grandchildren: Ryley (Ryan), Abby (Jeff), Mollie (Will), Hannah Rose, and Stevie Jo.
The family requests that in honor or Rose Mary, that you do one act of kindness. Rose Mary would love that.

Michael Vaughn Floersch, 28, of Osawatomie, Kansas, passed away on April 25, 2022, in his apartment in Olathe, Kansas.
On March 21, 1994, Michael was born to James and Sandy Floersch of Eudora, Kansas. He attended grade school up to the 6th grade in Baldwin City. The family later moved to Osawatomie, Kansas, where he was a student at the Junior High School until he sustained a traumatic knee injury. Michael completed junior high and high school through the K-12 Kansas online education program. After graduation, he attended Johnson County Community College and earned a certificate in Welding. Michael worked many jobs, but he recently worked for the Paola school district, Lake Mary, and Fire Door Solutions.
Michael is preceded in death by his grandmother Ruby Lavon Sims, his father James (Jim) Floersch, grandfather Matt Floersch, step-grandfather Don Toothman, stepsister Sabrina Wrisinger, grandmother Jean Floersch, infant brother Matthew Floersch, and great grandparents Emmet and Mary McGrath.
Michael is survived by his mother, Sandy Toothman; step-father Ron Toothman; two sisters: Angela Smith and Jennifer Floersch; three brothers: Nathan Floersch, Robert Floersch, and James Floersch; two nephews; Clay Smith and Mason Floersch; one niece: Samantha Floersch; uncles: Robert Sims and Matt Floersch; aunts: Bernice Altenhofen, Francie Falk, Jeanie Frank, and Janice McPherson; cousins: Tony Altenhofen, Lisa Fewins, Jason Altenhofen, Josh Falk, Jeffery Falk, Steven Falk, Julie Floersch, Emily Frank, Ann Marie McPherson, Matthew McPherson, Gilbert McPherson, Margaret McPherson, John Paul McPherson, and Michael McPherson; step-grandmother: Roberta Toothman; and step-sisters: Angel Anderson, Stephanie Annis, and Wendy Wrisinger.
Michael had a lifelong bond with his friends Ben Cole, Austin Cregg, Eli Buckley, Chris Jones, and Kacy Gonzales. Pat Sloan and Patsy Cole were like second parents to Michael, and he loved them dearly. Recently Michael had met a wonderful young lady named Ivory Derr and had just proposed marriage to her.
The one love that was always a constant in Michael's life was his dog, Jade. There wasn't a moment that she was not by his side. She will forever be "his girl."
Michael enjoyed gaming with his brothers and close friends, spending time with Jade, hunting, fishing, riding motorcycles, music, and being in nature. He was always patriotic and loved some good sports and political banter. Michael was a huge Chiefs fan and would proudly sport his Chiefs gear and anything red, white, and blue.
Sadly, Michael's life was cut short. He would have hated the idea of having a funeral, so we will be holding a Celebration of his Life:
Saturday, May 14, 2022: 11 am to 2 pm
The Whistle Stop Café in Osawatomie
901 6th Street, Osawatomie, KS
To us his name will ever be
The key that unlocks memory
Of a dear Son gone, but cherished yet
A beloved face, we'll never forget
