Rosie was a 1952 graduate of Heavener High School and of Draughons Business School in OKC. She was a pastor’s wife for 38 years where she especially loved Children’s ministry. She was a member of Sugarloaf Art Association, painting with friend Ruth Gardenhire. She was a retired florist and a member of the Stapp/Zoe Baptist Church.
