She was active in Plymouth U.C.C. activities, participated in Cub Scout and Campfire Girl programs, enjoyed ceramics classes, and made dozens of handcrafted Christmas ornaments, all for the love of her family.\r\nShe also enjoyed collecting and listening to music boxes, and with her husband, friends and family, had acquired many special memories with this collection. There was always a pot of coffee on at the Fenner house, where friends and family were made to feel most welcome.\r\nA celebration of Rose's life will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ with Pastor Chris W.
