Rosabelle was born in Broussard, LA, moved for a time to Freeport, TX, and ultimately to Port Sulphur where she and Walter made their home for 73 years until Hurricane Katrina changed their lives. They moved to Littleton, CO after the storm to be close to family. They both resided there until Walter passed away and Rosie could no longer live by herself. She has been a resident of Princeton Village Assisted
Living for over 4 years. Rosie was in the first graduation class of Port Sulphur High in 1939, attended business school in New Orleans, and became an Executive Secretary for Freeport Sulphur, working both in Grand Ecaille and in the Port Sulphur office for over 25 years. She, along with Walter, was a proud member of the 20 year ++ club. Rosabelle donated her time and secretarial skills to many local organizations and to St. Patrick’s church, where they were life-long members. Rosabelle’s greatest joy was her love of dancing and was seen rocking on the dance floor until the end.
