VIRGINIA “JEAN” TROWBRIDGE
Virginia “Jean” Trowbridge, 83, of Martins Ferry, Ohio, passed away peacefully on October 28, 2025, surrounded by her family. Born December 4th, 1941, in Martins Ferry, the daughter of the late Victor and Irene (Billis) Rose. Jean spent her entire life in the community she loved. She built a life centered around family, loyalty, and kindness, and she carried a deep pride in her hometown roots. She was a respected employee for over 30 years at the Ohio Bureau of Workers Comp.
Jean is survived by her husband of 46 years, Mike Trowbridge, and together they shared a home full of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion. Jean is also survived by her son Michael and his wife Rachel; her grandchildren Addilyn and Carter; and her brothers Victor Rose and David Rose. She is also lovingly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
Jean was happiest when surrounded by family & friends, and nothing brought her more joy than being a grandmother. She was a proud and loving “grandma,” known for never missing a chance to spoil Addilyn and Carter with candy, hugs, and memories they will carry forever. Jean will be remembered for her gentle heart, humor, resilience, and quiet strength. Her life was simple in the most beautiful way-she loved deeply, gave generously, and always put others before herself.
