Joan Ostovich Rose - Friday, December 26, 2014
Joan Ostovich Rose was born on July 7, 1940 in Clairton, Pennsylvania. After a life richly filled with love, laughter, faith, and compassion, Joan passed into the arms of God, in the presence of her family, on December 26, 2014.
Joan attained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nutritional Science and Dietetics from Penn State University in 1962, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Finance from West Virginia University in 1984, and a Masters Degree in Education from West Virginia University in 1986. She returned to school to pursue a law degree at the age of 47. After being admitted to the West Virginia Bar on November 6, 1991, Joan worked for a number of years as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, and later in private practice, before becoming a founding partner in Sal Sellaro Thorn Culpepper Legal Group, where she remained of counsel until her death.
Joan was a well-known and well-respected member of the Monongalia County Bar, as well as the West Virginia State Bar, where she served for a number of years on the Board of Governors and on the Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) Committee. Although she had an extensive practice in Family Law, she was most well known for her outstanding legal contributions serving as Guardian ad Litem for children, and serving as a Family Court Mediator.
Joan is preceded in death by her parents, George and Anna Ostovich. She is survived by her loving husband, Terry Rose, of Morgantown, West Virginia; her son, Erik Anderson, his wife, Emily Burrill, and their son, Joan’s beloved grandson, Rhys Anderson, all of Chapel Hill, North Carolina; her daughter, Victoria Anderson, of Los Angeles, California; her sister, Donna Bozin, of Monson, Maine; and many cousins from the Ostovich and Fetzko families with whom she remained close during her lifetime.
In honoring Joan's wishes, her family has honored her request for cremation. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Joan's life during a time of sharing memories at HFH, 153 Spruce St., Morgantown on Tuesday, December 30th from 4-7pm.
