Rose Andrews Hess, 84, of Virginia Beach went to be with Jesus on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 with her loving family’s prayers in her heart. She lived a rich life; full of family and friends, cats and dogs, flowers and sunshine, sailing and cooking, faith and prayer.
Rose was born and raised in Erie, PA. She met Jack B. Andrews at Thiel College in Pennsylvania and they married while in school there. She traveled the world as a Navy wife. Eventually they settled in Virginia Beach where she taught elementary school and finished raising their children. After Jack’s death, she met and married Ron Hess. They lived in Virginia Beach where they enjoyed each other’s families and friends, made summer trips to Maine, had adventures together and enjoyed life. Rose loved to paint and garden and create beautiful things. She was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan and looked forward to football season every year.
Left to treasure memories of her are: Ronald A. Hess, husband; her children Gay Lynn and Will Rountree of Virginia Beach and their children Caitie and Carter; John Andrews of Norfolk and his children Carin and Meghan; and Mark Andrews of Virginia Beach; her step-children Mike and Ann Hess of Chesapeake and Ann’s child Essie; Chris Hess of Centerville; Sarah and Vytis Simaitis of Falls Church and their children Alex and Ethan; Katie and Woody Anderson of Norfolk and their children Alyssa and Trent. Many other dear family members and friends will miss her sweet smile.
A service of remembrance will be held at Trinity Church, 401 35th St. Virginia Beach, VA 23451, on Friday, August 30 at 4 pm.

Gay and Will, I am sorry for your loss. Please know that I am thinking about you and pray that your hearts will heal soon. Cathy

Gay and Will, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May she rest in peace, and may her legacy live on in you. Respectfully, Marissa Jo

Dick and I were so saddened to learn about Rose. She was a very special lady. Rose was one of the five ladies in our monthly "Lunch Bunch" group; even though she wasn't able to make many of the lunches lately, she will be sorely missed. Like Rose, I have a serious hearing problem so we could laugh at the things we thought people said. We are sorry we can't make the service, but our thoughts will be with you. Lil

Will and Gay, My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hess family. We are sorry for your loss.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Rose will be missed by her many friends. She "sparkled" and enjoyed life. It was always good to see her at many Virginia Beach activities. May God bless and be with you now and in the days to come. Martha Cisney
