Rose Marie “Rosie” Hayes
On July 3, 2015, the potlucks in heaven became much better when the good Lord called his sweet daughter Rosie home. She was a dedicated wife, mother and perfect Nanny. She was a lady who was just as comfortable climbing a tree as sitting in a church pew. Her biscuits will be missed but her smiles will be longed for. Rosie’s life was just like her flower garden: full of color, joy, and shared amongst friends and family.
