Rosey was born April 6, 1938, in Goodnight to Kenneth and Jewel Walker Morrow. A doctor rode on horseback from Claude to Goodnight in a blizzard to aide in the delivery of beautiful twin girls. Mary Anne was born at 5 a.m. and 15 minutes later came Rosey Anna, each weighing nine pounds, four ounces. The twins drew alot of attention from both neighbors and relatives.
Rosey was a resident of Clarendon most of her life and was a member of the First Baptist Church in Clarendon.
Rosey loved basketball and played all through school. She was smart and loved to read and write, she read all kinds of books constantly and wrote letters all the time. She worked as the First Baptist Church Secretary in Clarendon for many years before she went on to get her teaching degree. She was well educated, and teaching was her passion. She was a great teacher, and teaching special education was something that gave her pride. She also enjoyed quilting and loved to get dressed up and go out dancing. Family members recall her as a real firecracker!
Rosey was a wonderful loving grandmother, her grandchildren meant the world to her and her to them. She will be dearly missed.
