Our beautiful mother, wife, grandmother, sister, and friend to many, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family in her home on April 26, 2017.
Rosa was born on August 22, 1945 in Hazard, KY.
She had six children, two step-children, 19 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. Her family was her life.
She was a devoted mother, wife and grandmother. She raised not only her children, but several grandchildren.
She enjoyed reading and gardening. She loved her flowers, the outdoors, old barns and bridges.
She battled emphysema and COPD for 20 years until it took her away.
She was a wonderful teacher, with a career that started when she was in her 30s. She enjoyed the children she taught.
