On Saturday, May 2nd, a memorial tree was planted at Eastgate Elementary School for Rose Powell by her friends.

Rose was a librarian at Eastgate for many years and was loved by the students and fellow teachers.

Townsend Tree Board members, Patrick Plantenberg and Mary Mistek, with the help of Rose’s friends, planted the Autumn Splendor Ohio Buckeye at the school. Fortunately, it was planted near the school library.

Terry Love of Townsend, a dear friend of Rose, helped organize the event and led the discussion of memories of Rose.
