Rosa was born in 1932 in Greenwood, DE the daughter of the late Charles and Manilla Passwaters. She was a loving person who was quick with a smile and sometimes could be a little devilish as well.

Rosa was an avid hunter, and even had the opportunity to hunt over this past year. She will be greatly missed. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Paul Clendaniel; her brothers Harvey, Bill, Charles, Carlos, John and Thurman and sisters Mildred and Roberta.
