Rosa

Marshall

Rosa Marshall was born on December 2, 1936, to the late Fred and Mandy Montgomery of Tate County, Mississippi. She was affectionately known to her family as Momma Rosa. On December 9, 2025, she peacefully departed this life after a courageous battle with lymphoma.

Rosa confessed her faith in Christ at an early age and became a devoted member of Mt. Calm Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. William Reynolds. She faithfully served on the Mother Board for many years, offering guidance and support to her church family.

She was employed at Chrome Craft for over 30 years before retiring. Following her retirement, Rosa dedicated her life to her family, nurturing and caring for each one with love and devotion. She was a devoted wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and friend always ready to offer wisdom, kindness, and encouragement. Rosa will be remembered for her sweet smile, gentle spirit, loving nature, and unwavering devotion to her family.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe Marshall; two daughters, Bertha Dowell and Shelia Goss; one son, Thuman "Benny" Marshall; and four siblings, William Lee Perry, Lillian Taylor, Fred Montgomery Jr., and Dorothy Thompson; and a beloved friend she cherished as a sister, Ethel Lee Nesbitt. She leaves to cherish her memory: her daughter, Patrica Ann (Micheal) Marshall of Coldwater, MS;

; thirteen grandchildren; thirty-four great- grandchildren; seven great-great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews whom she loved as her own. She also leaves behind a special daughter-in-law, Sharon Moorehead, along with many extended family members and friends. Rosa's legacy of love, faith, and devotion will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
