Dora Inez

Rosa

Dora Inez Rosa, daughter of Louise (Snider) and the late William "Bill" Lundry, was born in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, on September 22, 1961. She passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her family on January 13, 2026, at the age of 64. Dora met her soulmate, Paul Rosa, and the two were quickly married on May 31, 1980. To this beautiful union, they had 2 children, daughter, Amanda Bennett and son, Jerrod Rosa.

Dora loved flowers and it showed through in her gardening and painting. She took pleasure in baking, playing board and card games, camping, and swimming at Black River. The hobby she enjoyed most was fishing. Dora loved to go fishing any chance she got. She cherished spending time with her whole family, but her favorite time was when she got to be grandma. Being Mama to her granddaughter Alyssa was her greatest role. Carving out whole weekends with nothing to do but crafts, games and baking cookies and cakes, chasing after Alyssa's ballgames, swimming and camping, carnivals and going places together. Spending time, laughing and making so many memories were Dora's greatest treasures.

She worked at Madison County Water District for nearly 30 years as their District Manager and Office Administrator. She enjoyed her job and was good at it, even earning Office Professional of the year from the Missouri Rural Water Association.

Dora was preceded in death by her father, and one brother, Garry Lundry.

Dora is survived by her husband, Paul, both children, Amanda and Jerrod, all of Fredericktown, Missouri, her granddaughter, Alyssa and companion Chase Nicholson of Farmington, Missouri, her mother, Louise Fortner of Ellington, Missouri, one brother, Larry Lundry and wife Kim of Ellington, Missouri, two sisters, Donna Graham of Springdale, Arkansas, and Denna Lundry of Eminence, Missouri, and a host of other family members and friends. Dora was so loved and will be missed by many.
