Mariana Rose Grimes was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She peacefully left this world surrounded by her loved ones on March 11, 2024, at age 82.
She was born to Regina and Cresencio Reyes on Sept. 12, 1941. After graduating from high school, she married James Rose, who predeceased Mariana. They raised a family of six children, Denise, Sandra, Susan, James Jr., Eugene, who passed away at birth, and Jerry.
Mariana met John Grimes in 2012. They married in 2013, making their home in Toledo, Washington, where he still lives. She loved family time, camping, gardening, canning, motorcycle rides and watching her favorite soap opera, The Young and the Restless. Mariana had a strong passion for animals, so she was a long-term financial supporter of animal shelters.
Mariana will be honored in a celebration of life memorial service at 1:30 p.m. May 17, 2024, at the Christian Fellowship Church, located at 630 Cemetery Road, Winlock, Washington.
