Roz was my "sister" since summer of 3rd grade. We grew up across the street from each other.She was at every special event in our Families life. This picture was taken at my Son's wedding rehearsal party in 2012. She helped make the weekend so special.
Rosalind and I talked for 30 minutes or more, right before her surgery. True Rosalind style, she was cleaning out her garage before Charles arrived to help her out with & after her surgery. ( She said she didn’t want him to have a fit when he saw it!). Rosalind was special to me from the moment we met in Journalism class when we were in the 10th grade. She was beside me when we went to ECU; walked me to the bus station when I eloped (talking the whole way trying to talk me out of it!); hitch hiked to see me when I was pregnant in Salisbury; visited in Boone when Larry was in grad school; and visited with Charles shortly after we moved back to Wilmington. It was Halloween so she was dressed as a “rotten banana” (her words!). Like I said.. she has been beside me every step of the way and I will miss her so. I can honestly say she was the most unique and genuinely funny person I have ever known. Oh Rosalind, I wish we could talk again! Page Scott Tootoo
So surprised to hear of Rosalind’s passing. She was always so active a real mover and shaker. She was good friends with my brother Allen and his wife Brenda. I coached her son Charlie in soccer. She attended every game and was a very supportive parent. Her passing reminds us all how vulnerable life can be.
Aunt Roz sat next to my best friend at my wedding (they had never met before). Before you knew it, they had become fast friends. Roz had my friend laughing so hard that she was in tears. Aunt Roz was a friend to everyone she met.
So very sorry to hear of her passing! She was a childhood friend of mine as I lived across the street from her on 19th Street in Wilmington. We both attended Junior High and High school together and I last saw her at our 30th reunion back in 1998! A truly wonderful person and great gal. She will indeed be missed. Condolences to all her family!
We met when I was 4 and she was five. My family lived two doors down from her. On my fifth birthday I told her we were now the same age. She replied no, because her birthday was the day before. We had a good time on my swings and marveling at the spider webs in the back yard.
So sorry for your loss! I line danced with Roz at the VFW on Monday nights, and always enjoyed talking to her. She loved showing pics of her grandkids!
