Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Norma Jean Rosche, age 96, of Olathe KS , passed away peacefully on May 5, 2026. She was born on September 6, 1929 in KCK.
Norma and Ed made their homes in Kansas City, KS, Bella Vista, AR, and Olathe, KS throughout the years. Before her marriage, Norma worked at the telephone office and later devoted many years volunteering at the medical center. No matter where she lived, she was always active in her church and community, giving her time, kindness, and servant heart to others.
Norma and Ed are reunited again—surely enjoying a round of golf together in heaven.
Norma Jean was preceded in death by her husband, Ed; granddaughter, Kelly; parents and was the last of her ten siblings.
She is survived by her daughters, Debbie (Dave), Anita (Steve) and Eileen (Curt); grandchildren, Tara (Matt), Allyson, Caleb and Joshua; great-grandchildren, Makena and Aidan; and great-great-granddaughter, Kairi.

Hello, a quick note to provide condolences to Tara and her family during this difficult time. The first thing I noticed when I saw the beautiful picture above was the smile. I see she (Tara) gets this beautiful smile from her grandmother. When I learned how old she was, it lets me know that she has lived a long time. She was alotted the time to live, love, provide and instill wisdom to her family. Even those she has passed on, remember the bits and pearls of wisdom that only she could have provided to you guys. Hold on to one another with lots of love. Continue to look towards the hills from when cometh thy help, for our help cometh from the Lord. Time stands still for no one – God called her home, she has gained her wings, she has fought a good fight. Know that our prayers are with each of you. Remember memoirs are the best medicine for healing a heavy heart. God Bless you,
Sorry to hear of Norma’s passing. Ed and Norma were good friends for our parents. Many good memories of our families spending time together. Though it has been many years we have been in contact, the good memories of years ago remain.
Sorry for your loss.
Mark and Joann Becker
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of our family and friends who have lost our beloved Aunt Norma. She was such a kind person and had such a positive influence on everyone around her. May she rest in peace in the arms of our Lord God and embraced by Uncle Ed and others who have predeceased her. 🙏
I’m so sorry to hear this news. Your Mom was one tough cookie but I truly enjoyed our time together although briefly. Her spunky independence took my right to the life with my Father. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a small part of her life. And yours.
