Rose Marie McCluskey

Rose Marie McCluskey, born June 5, 1956, passed away unexpectedly on November 12, 2026 at the age of 70.

Rose will be remembered as a dedicated caregiver in every part of her life. Whether she was serving in a nursing home setting or caring for members of her own family, she gave of herself with compassion and steady devotion. Taking care of people was not simply something she did, but a reflection of who she was. Her life was marked by kindness, service, and a genuine concern for the well-being of others.

She was also a Christian who was involved with her church, and her faith was an important part of her life. Alongside her caring spirit, Rose loved music, which surely brought joy and comfort to her days and to those around her. She leaves behind the memory of a woman whose warmth and compassion touched many lives.

Rose was preceded in death by her husband, Sam McCluskey, and by her parents, Johnny and Margie Gurganus.

She is survived by her brother, Philip (Diane) Gurganus; her nephew, John-David (Becky) Gurganus; and her uncle, Harlie Gurganus. May their memories of Rose bring comfort in the days ahead and keep close the love she so freely shared throughout her life.

A visitation for Rose will take place on Wednesday, November 18, 2026 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at The Ridge Chapel of The Martenson Family of Funeral Homes located at 2272 West Jefferson, Trenton, MI 48183. She will be interred at Michigan Memorial Park Cemetery in Huron Twp.
