Rose L. Bolton, age 83, Dayton, Ohio, passed away peacefully at Hospice of Dayton, on March 20, 2026, just six days shy of her 84th birthday. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on March 26, 1942, the daughter of the late Alexander W. & Marion C. Roberts.

Rose retired from Montgomery County Auditor’s Office in 2007 after 25 years of dedicated service, where she served as a supervisor of the Personal Property Tax Division. She was also a devoted member of the Phillips Temple Church in Trotwood, Ohio where she participated in the Women’s Missionary Society South Circle Group.

Known for her contagious smile and warm spirit, Rose left a lasting impression on everyone she met. She enjoyed shopping, entertaining close friends and family, and cherishing the visits of loved ones.  Rose shared a special lifelong bond with her sister, speaking with her every day about life’s simple joys-including what they had eaten or planned to eat that day. 

Rose is survived by her children, Carl R. Bolton II, and Chimene (Chae) Harris; her grandchildren, Cherrelle Harris, Chae (Jeniliz) Harris, Arielle Bolton, Leela Bolton; and great-grandchild, Avianna Nunez. She is also survived by her sisters, Marianne E. (Earl) Johnson, Linda R. Dixon; brothers, Alexander W. Roberts, Edwin A Roberts.
