It is with deep sorrow and humble reflection that we announce the passing of our beloved Aunt Rosie, a cherished soul whose warmth and wisdom left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her. Residing in California, Aunt Rosie was more than just a family member—she was the radiant thread that wove generations together with compassion, selflessness, and unwavering love.
Aunt Rosie’s life was a testament to the power of kindness and quiet strength. She carried herself with grace, lived with purpose, and gave from the deepest parts of her heart. Her presence in our lives was a constant source of comfort and inspiration, a gentle reminder that love, when shared freely, can shape lives and change futures.
Among her many blessings to the family, Aunt Rosie gave us one of her most treasured gifts: De’Mon. From the time he was a child, Aunt Rosie poured love, guidance, and faith into him, helping to mold him into the remarkable young man he is today. De’Mon stands as a living tribute to her legacy—a young man full of integrity, resilience, and promise, reflecting the very best of what Aunt Rosie stood for.
Colleen Bivins, a close member of the family, speaks for many when she shares her heartfelt gratitude for Aunt Rosie’s unwavering support and the many ways she enriched their lives. “Aunt Rosie wasn’t just a name in our family tree,” Colleen says. “She was the roots—the one who grounded us with her care and lifted us with her strength. I am forever thankful for everything she gave, especially the light and love she poured into De’Mon’s life.”
In this time of grief and remembrance, Colleen is also seeking support to attend Aunt Rosie’s memorial service, a journey of love and honor that means the world to her. Being there, standing beside the rest of the family, and paying tribute to Aunt Rosie in person is not just a personal wish—it’s a way to say one last heartfelt thank you.
As we navigate this difficult season, we ask that you keep Aunt Rosie, her memory, and the family she loved so dearly in your thoughts and prayers. Loss is never easy, but in remembering Aunt Rosie, we remember love in its purest form. May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may we carry her legacy forward with grace and gratitude.
If you feel called to support Colleen in her efforts to attend the memorial, your generosity will be deeply appreciated. Together, we can honor Aunt Rosie not only in memory but in the love we continue to show one another—just as she would have wanted.
