Rosa L. White was born Dec. 24, 1928 to Jesse and Lillie McFarland White. Rosa was a dedicated member of Rosebud Baptist Church. She attended regularly until her health failed. She loved visiting other churches and listening to gospel music. She worked as a domestic laborer serving the surrounding communities. She loved and adored her family. Everyone who knew her loved and enjoyed her company. Her kindness, friendliness and gracious hospitality won a place in the hearts of all who know her. We all would always sit around listening to her telling stories of the family and their past making us laugh until we cried. In her younger days, she would entertain us with her dance moves. Tuesday, Dec. 8, Rosa entered into eternal rest at the home of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth White. She was preceded in death by six siblings; John White, Ethel Felder, Bennie White, Thomas White, Robert White and Charlie Randolph White.
