Rosalie grew up on her family’s farm in Princeton, NC where they farmed tobacco and cotton.

She was a member of the Capital City Church of God for over 40 years. She loved her church, her church family, and her bible. A devoted wife, patient mother, and loving grandmother, Rosalie was special. She was a fantastic cook, who made the best “slickem” in town. (That’s chicken and pastry- handmade from scratch). She loved flowers, fried oysters, listening to music and dancing, sitting outside with the sunshine on her face, watching her birds especially cardinals, and walking. She will be greatly missed by her children and grandchildren, and remembered fondly through precious memories. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday at 1:30 PM at Capital City Church of God, Raleigh.  Burial will follow at Montlawn Memorial Park, Raleigh. The family will receive friends from 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM at the church prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Capital City Church of God Building Fund, 1500 Hedingham Blvd, Raleigh 27604.
