Rosa Lee Rosenbalm

Rosa Lee Rosenbalm, 90, went to be with the Lord, Monday, July 29, 2019. She was born in Mexia, Texas, on November 5, 1928 to the late Howard Lee and Florence “Johnson” Evers. She was from a family of 6 children.
Rosa was the widow of the late L. E. “Bud” Rosenbalm, to whom she was married to for 67 years. They met at Fair Park Dallas, Texas in 1945. Rosa was a “side kick” to her husband L. E.... always helping him in his many business’s. She picked cotton with him when they were newly married in Josephine, Texas. When Rosa was a teenager she worked as an usherette in a theater in Dallas...she worked at the Frito Company, Skillern’s Cafeteria and for a wealthy family as a nanny.
Rosa was a faithful wife and loving mother...never missing an opportunity to provide for the needs of her husband and children. Her Christian principals lived faithfully before her family. Rosa’s most treasured time was doing for her family. She was an excellent cook with her famous “greasy pancakes”, delicious fried pies and her chicken and dressing at holidays. In her adult life she was church secretary, delivered phone books, dental assistant and nursing assistant at Gilmer Convalescent Center.
She went to Israel with her pastor Rev. Glynn Grantham and her church in the 70’s. Her favorite scripture “The Lord is my Shepherd” was her testimony of faith in God. She lead by example in her life and had a sweet spirit that shined through her love of Christ. Every child of God should have evident in their life.
