Cheryl Ann Rose

Cheryl Ann Rose, 79, of Spartanburg, SC passed away on June 9, 2023. She was born in San Diego, California, on January 3, 1944, to Robert Hammer and Betty Becker Hammer.

With her dear friend, Shirley Kuykendall, she co-owned The Rose Cottage Restaurant on Warren Abernathy Highway in Spartanburg from 1997-2008. Both women put their love of cooking into every meal served. The restaurant was cherished for years as a wonderful place for lunch and weekend brunch.

She also leaves behind four grandchildren: Brandon Gaines, Bryant (Sara) Gaines, Brent (Cecily) Gaines, Caroline (Carter) Mahoney, and four great-grandchildren. She is survived by a brother, Larry (Joanne) Hammer of Peru, IN and a sister, Terry (Stuart) Mutchler of Rochester, IN.
