Rosetta (Rose) received her education in the Meriwether County school system. On February 2, 1952, Rose married the love of her life Hosiah Thompson Sr. For many years she worked in the textile industry. Some of her hobbies were: sewing, decorating, gardening, cooking, traveling and visiting family and friends. HER MOTTO: you can fix anything with a butter knife.

At an early age, Rose became a member of Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church, where she loved to praise and worship the Lord and later joined the senior choir where she was an active member until her health declined. She also attended White Plains United Methodist Church.

Rosetta will be greatly missed by and leaves to cherish so many wonderful memories: her devoted husband, Hosiah Thompson, Sr. and her children Patricia Ann (LeRoy) Parks, Marvin (Lynn) Snelling, Joanne Parks, Sharon (Bobby) Bussey, Sylvia Arnold, Hosiah Thompson Jr., Berlinda McIntyre and Angelia (Gerald) Irving; her brothers: Willie Frank (Thelma) and James Wesley Foster and a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, and a great-great grandchild, nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, friends and many children she loved as her own.
