Bob and Rosetta raised three generations of grandchildren. Rosetta loved all her family and she and Bob always worked hard to provide a Christian home for their family. Rosetta loved God and served him faithfully for 47 years at the First Free Will Baptist Church in Bristow.
Rosetta worked hard in her home and outside her home, including many years with “Humpty Dumpty” Grocery store in Sapulpa, BC Glass, the school cafeteria at Kellyville Schools, and as a bus driver for the Slick Senior Citizens.
