Together again forever! Mary Ann Trople, 87, Rapid City, slipped away peacefully into the arms of Jesus and joined her beloved husband, Ralph, in Heaven on April 9, 2015. She was born June 3, 1927, the third child of William and Nora (Suing) Meirose and grew up on a farm north of Wall, SD.

On July 25, 1946, she eloped to Brodus, MT, and married Ralph Trople. They cherished their 54 years together, raising three children. She enjoyed being a wife, homemaker, and devoted mother. She sold Avon for over 55 years.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Ralph; her two sisters, Inez (Bob) Greear and Geneva (Jerome) Urban; and two brothers, Jerome (Alice) and Francis Meirose.

She is survived by her brother, Galen (Kay) Meirose, Fort Collins, CO; her sister-in-law, Alvina Meirose of Spearfish, SD; her three children, Phyllis (Lynn) Gossard of Battlefield, MO, Linda (Ron) Brown of Rapid City, SD, and Tom (Jenny) Trople of Scenic, SD; her six grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren; and nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
