ROSALYN RAPP

     Trout Lake resident Rosalyn Dawn Rapp, 62, died at her home on June 5, 2002.
     She was born in White Salmon on March 30, 1940, to George A. and Ethel D. (Waltz) Pearson. She was raised in the area, attending schools in Trout Lake and graduating from Trout Lake High School in 1958. On June 20, 1959, she married Stan Rapp and the couple moved to Gold Beach and Vancouver before settling on a ranch in Oregon City, where they lived from 1967 to 1976. Then they moved to Riverside, Calif., and lived there from 1976 to 1985. Finally, they returned to Trout Lake in 1985, where they have resided since.
     Mrs. Rapp was a faithful attendee of Mt. Adams Baptist Church and a faithful and dedicated servant of her Lord.
     She was an accomplished piano teacher and taught her six grandchildren to play.
     Things Mrs. Rapp enjoyed were flower and vegetable gardening (she had a green thumb), listening to books on tape and traveling. She was a history buff and was very interested in the Civil War. She and her husband traveled to the Gettysburg battlefield and other historical places.
     She was a loving and devoted wife and mother. She was a woman who was at peace with herself and poured love on all her family.
     Survivors include her husband of 43 years, Stan; son Robert O. Rapp, Portland; daughters Robin L. Dearden and Lesli A. Schinid, both of Trout Lake; brothers Orwin W. Pearson, Kathmandu, Nepal, Monte W. Pearson, Trout Lake, and Rudy N. Pearson, Carmichael, Calif.; sister Carolyn Peterson, Trout Lake; and six grandchildren.
     A family graveside service was held at the Trout Lake Cemetery on Friday, June 7, 2002, with a memorial service scheduled for Saturday, June 29, 2002, at 1 p.m. at Mount Adams Baptist Church. Memorials may be made to Mount Adams Baptist Church for the Rosalyn Rapp Memorial Missions Fund.
