Funeral Services for Rosalie Barnett will be Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 2:00 PM at the Hendrix Baptist Church. Rosalie was born September 6, 1924 to Benjamin Franklin & Bettie Ann (Duncan) Rash in Peacock, Texas. She passed from this life on Saturday, November 7, 2009 in Denison, Texas.

Rosalie accepted Christ as her Savior when she was nine years old in a cottage prayer meeting held by Bro. Ron Grey. She was baptized the same year into the Peacock Texas Baptist Church by Bro. Sidney Cox. She taught Sunday School for all ages from juniors to adults. Rosalie was active in UMW and taught Junior G.A.’s. She was active in Vacation Bible School almost every year when she was young. Rosalie was not only very involved in her church activities, but also in many school and community activities when her husband was County Judge in Aspermont, Texas. She served as President of PTA, President of School Band Club, and of the Phoenix Club. Rosalie moved to Oklahoma in 1967. She worked for the U.S. Postal Service as a postmaster in Kemp. In 1992 she retired. During that time her and her husband joined the Kemp Baptist Church. Here she taught the Adult Sunday School for a short time. Later they moved their membership to Hendrix. At Hendrix she taught the Junior Girls Sunday School Class. They took up collection each Sunday until they received enough money to buy carpet for their Sunday School Room. Everyone was so proud of it, as if it were the first carpet in the church. That year she also went with the children to Falls Creek and was blessed very much. Later, Rosalie and her husband moved their membership to the Oakridge Church to be with her in-laws. She taught the intermediate boys and girls Sunday School Class for a short time. After Mr. Barnett passed away Rosalie moved back to the Hendrix Church. She was blessed by the church and all the people in it. She loved them greatly. In her golden years she was not as active as she once was. She did however enjoy seeing young people take part in the things she always enjoyed doing. She still kept her membership at the VFW Auxillary and enjoyed helping Veterans. She donated money, time, and effort for thirty years contributing to the many wonderful activities the VFW participates in. Rosalie also liked playing bingo. Most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.
