Though naturally shy, her warmth and generosity left a lasting impression-she was the kind of woman who would quietly help anyone in need, never seeking recognition. Her kitchen was a sanctuary of comfort, filled with the scent of home-cooked meals and the soft hum of church music playing in the background. She found joy in simple pleasures and gave joy in abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Survivors include her daughters, Barbara (Herman Allen) Jones, Tycie Chatman; sons, Lee Simpson, Orlando Simpson of Indianapolis; sisters, LeeAnn Simpson, Leedora (Tracy) Hampton; 18 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; 1 great -great-grandchild; and several nieces, nephews, and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was preceded in death by her mother, Francis Stephanie; son, James Ricks; and brother, Majorie Stephanie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The family will receive visitors from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 at St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church 1204 W. 12th St., Marion, IN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immediately following the time of visitation, a service to celebrate Rose's life will begin at 1:00 pm with Pastor C.L.
