Rose Lynne Dorman

Rose Lynne Dorman was born July 14, 1949, at Ardmore, OK to the late Mr. Jesse F James and Helen Jo (Morris) James. She departed this life Friday, October 16, 2026, at Madill, OK at the age of 77 years, 3 months, and 2 days.

Rose was raised in Ardmore, where she attended school and graduated from Ardmore High School. Her early years in Ardmore remained an important part of her life story and formed the foundation for the years that followed. Rose later moved to the San Fernando Valley in California, where she resided for most of her life. On July 18, 1987, she married Ken Dorman in Las Vegas, Nevada. Together they made their home in Canyon Country, California, where Rose devoted herself to her home and family as a homemaker and housewife. She was a steady and loyal presence in her husband’s life, always supporting him in his business adventures with encouragement and dedication. Rose and Ken shared many happy experiences together. They enjoyed camping and were active as members of the Elks Lodge, building memories through fellowship, travel, and time spent outdoors. In 2014, they moved to Oklahoma by RV and remained there. During those years, they also served as camp hosts at several campsites at Lake Texoma, a role that reflected their love of camping and the welcoming spirit they shared with others. Rose was also an avid Nascar fan, always enjoying a good race. 

Preceding her in death are her parents, Jesse and Helen Jo James; brother, Terry Gentry; sister, Beverly Dye; stepdaughter, Patricia Ann Dorman.
