Rosa was a true force of nature, known for her infectious smile and heartwarming laughter that could brighten even the gloomiest of days. Her zest for life was unparalleled, and she lived each day to the fullest, sprinkling kindness and happiness wherever she went.

A dedicated and loving partner, Rosa was married to Henderson Cole and together they had four children: Henry, Waymond, Natasha, and Brenda. Her children were the light of her life, and she poured her heart and soul into raising them with unconditional love.

Aside from her devotion to family, Rosa was an avid gardener with a green thumb that could make any plant flourish. Her garden was her pride and joy, often proving to be a peaceful sanctuary where she could reflect and find solace in the beauty of nature. She found immense pleasure in nurturing her vibrant flowers and tending to her bountiful vegetable patch.

Rosa also had a great passion for baking, and her kitchen was a constant whirlwind of delectable scents and sweet treats. From her famous chocolate chip cookies to her mouthwatering pies, her culinary creations could light up even the dullest day.

Rosa's departure leaves an empty space in the hearts of all who knew her, but her memory will remain a source of comfort and inspiration. Today, as we remember and celebrate her remarkable life, let us heed her example by spreading love, laughter, and kindness, just as she did. She taught us that life is too short to be anything but happy.
