Rose Ann Heyer
January 31, 1926 ~ April 16, 2018
Rose Ann Heyer, widow of Robert F. Heyer, age 92 passed on April 16, 2018 at St. Joseph Hospital under the loving care of Bluegrass Hospice Care with her family at her side. Rose and Bob were married for 65 years and resided in Danville for over 40 years. Rose was born in Cleveland, Ohio on January 31, 1926 to Antimo and Raffaela Musone, Italian immigrants. She was preceded by her parents and siblings Carrie, Pauline, Theresa, James and Katherine. Rose was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother and special aunt to many, many nieces and nephews.
She is survived by her children Robert B. ( Rose) Heyer, Richmond, Ky.; Deborah A. (Joseph) Fast, Lexington, Ky., and Kurt A. ( Pamela) Heyer, Franklin, Tn., six grandchildren and six great grandchildren : Keri Heyer ( Xavier and Cecilia); Lori Heyer; Robby (Brittany) Heyer (Kolten); Kelly Heyer (Karter); Andrew (Andrea) Fast (Brynn and Heidi); and Natalie Fast (fiancé Sam Tyree).
Rose was an excellent cook, especially Italian dishes, and loved preparing sumptuous holiday meals for family and friends. Her happiest moments were the times when all six grandchildren spent the night at grandma and grandpa’s house. Chaos, food, lots of laughing, visits to the swimming pool, library and ice cream shop were all made possible by Grandma. The grandchildren have many, many fun stories of grandma and cherished memories from a special woman.

Peace, prayers and blessings.
Debbie, Bob and Kurt, This year marks 51 years since the Mehoks and Heyers moved from Cleveland to Kentucky. Your parents will always have a special place in my heart. I would run into your mother and father often over the years and they always kept me updated on each of you and your families. They were so very proud. Laurie
So sorry to learn of the passing of Rose. She was a wonderful, classy lady. I\’ll always have fond memories of Bob\’s wit, and Rose\’s baked goods. Her crescent-shaped Italian cookies were a favorite! She will be greatly missed, as is your father.
Bob & Kurt. So sorry for your loss. Its always hard to lose a parent. I only met her a couple of times, but it was obvious she was great at raising young men.
Heaven is lucky to have you
