Kathy, Heather and Rachael, I am so very sorry to learn of your family’s loss. May God give you comfort in the memories you have of Mrs Rose. Love and hugs.
Enjoyed talking to Rose while working at Moore County Farm Bureau, she told me one time she was going to see her uncle in Carthage on Carthage Niagara rd, I asked his name and he lives 4 houses from me. So she always talked about uncle Curtis. She was a very sweet lady!.

Dear Debbie, Kathy, Allan, and Robert,
I loved your mother after I met her at the beach after she married Charles. I probably cramped their style hanging around them so much. I loved Rose’s soft voice and laugh. I’ll never forget that Charles played Bill Haley and the Comets’ “Rock Around the Clock” over and over at the beach one time I was there. I also remember staying with them a few days in Raleigh when Debbie was a baby. I learned how to adjust my driving speed because Charles would slow down or speed up depending on the stoplights so he didn’t have to stop! Rose was such a good mother. Debbie, you were the first baby I’d ever been around. You all seemed to be such a loving family.
I’m sorry about your mother and wish you all much happiness and success.
I knew Rose for over 17 years. She was always a joy to talk with when I saw her and she shared may fond memories of her family through the years. So sorry to hear that she has passed. Prayers for the family during this time.
Kathy and family,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your mom.
Our hearts are with you during this difficult time.
Our Love and Support Always,
COA Health Sciences Division
I remember being at Aunt Mamie’s beach cottage with Rose when Rose and Charles were dating. Rose’s ready smile and laugh were so infectious and she was so much fun to be around. My mother, Katherine Cagle Barnes, and I visited Charles and Rose the day before Debby was born when they were living in their first apartment. I am so sorry for your loss and know Rose will be missed a great deal by your family. Blessings to all of you children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
So sorry for your loss, we send our condolences.
