Rosie was the youngest of two girls and grew up in Inverness, MS where she accepted Christ at an early age and received her education.

In her 20s she relocated to Kansas City, MO for a better life for her and her children. She was a hardworking woman who often times held two jobs to provide for her family. As much as she enjoyed working, she also enjoyed the fruits of her labor. She frequently travel, enjoyed gaming and the carefree lifestyle of cruises. She was colorful, multi-faceted and possessed a love that extended beyond family to friends and community. She was there for those in need, willing to lend her voice of reason and had a cunning way of always knowing what was going on.
