My Deepest sympathy to Family and Friends to Rose. I loved her witty humor. She taught me a lot about cooking German food, she was a great cook. She will be greatly missed. She was truly one of a kind. RIP Rose Ben.

My thoughts are with the family. I had the pleasure of working with Rose over several summers at Miller Honey. She was patient, quick witted and had a great sense of humor. Whether it was in the field with Scott Remboldt and Randy Geiszler or inside the plant with Rose Ben, those were memorable times.
