Maurine Estella Arheart Rolph

Maurine Estella Arheart Rolph, age 92, died at the Ottawa County Health Care Center on June 2, 2008. Maurine, the daughter of Robert and Sylvia Arheart, was born on February 20, 1916, in her childhood home south of Delphos, Kansas.

She married Edward Maxwell (Max) Rolph on May 31, 1935, in Salina, Kansas. They made their home in or around Delphos, Kansas, for all the sixty-two years of their life together. Maurine was involved in many aspects of the community she loved so much. She was active in the United Methodist Church, PTA, Eastern Star, Rebeccas, UMW, and almost every community event. She adored her family and liked nothing better than to have her children and their friends in her home. Later that expanded to the joy of grandchildren and then great grandchildren. The more the merrier for Maurine.
