Her sunset was January 31, 2016 at 6:30am in Foundation Park Senior Care Center.  Affectionately known as Aunt Rosie, to all her family members, she was truly a jewel to them and many of the people who knew her.  Rose was an excellent cook and worked at Howard Johnson for many years.  She also worked at Bingham stamping and Club 300.  She attended Calvary Baptist Church for many years and served on the Usher board.

Rose loved to dance and was an avid bowler on many leagues throughout the city.  She was united in holy matrimony to Mr. Charles Thomas January 3, 1972, and they enjoyed 44 years of marriage.

She was preceded in death by both parents, three sisters; Mary Hill, Clara Collins and Georgian Biddle, brother L.B. Biddle, Jr (Al).  Left to cherish her memory are loving and devoted husband Charles Thomas, loving and devoted son Jodie (Nita) Biddle, stepson, Charlie Thomas Jr., 4 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren, devoted niece, Delores Lothery and longtime special friend Edith Peacoc and a host of family and friends.
