Rozanne Immele Etheridge

Rozanne Etheridge, 94, of Palmetto Bay, Florida, passed away peacefully on October 25th, surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Rozanne was the daughter of Frances and Ferdinand Immele. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, George Whitfield Etheridge III, her sister, Patricia Scanlon, and her parents.

Rozanne graduated from Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas and then proudly served as an officer in the U.S. Navy Medical Service Corps. It was during her service that she met George, her loving husband. They married in 1955 and settled in South Miami, where they raised seven children together.

While raising her growing family, Rozanne maintained her license as a registered dietitian and cultivated a lifelong passion for health and nutrition. Her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ was the cornerstone of her life—she was a devoted prayer warrior, offering comfort for family, friends, and anyone in need.

Rozanne is survived by her seven children: George IV (Lisa), Lisa, Eileen (Roger), Corinne (Tom), Mary (Lou), Cathy (Glenn), and Patricia, fourteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Her determined spirit, boundless love, and steadfast faith will continue to inspire all who knew her. Rozanne's legacy lives on in the hearts of her family and the many lives she touched.

A private service will be held to honor and celebrate Rozanne's life. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Samaritan's Purse.
