Notes for Iva Launa Roseman

Iva Roseman's middle name, Launa was pronounced "Lay-oon-a"

Iva lived in Huntersville Oaks Nursing Home in her old age - she probably had Alzheimer disease. Family members were told at time of her death that Iva wasn't ill, that her body had just "worn out." Daughters Ruth and Doris remember that she was a very hard working person.
