Ray, Rose, 1918-

Hide Profile

Ray (b.1918) served in the Army from 1943 to 1945. Her maiden name, Jrolf, was misspelled "Grolf" on her birth certificate, and as a result her paper name in the Army was Rose Grolf. Ray served as a cook at Alliance (Nebraska) and as mess sergeant at Sedalia Army Air Field (present day Whiteman Air Force Base). She married Fred Ray, had a daughter, and eventually settled in Janesville (Wisconsin).
