On Friday July 5,2024, God decided to bring one of his beloved daughters home.

She accepted Christ in her life at a young age and was baptized at New Zion Baptist Church 11 in Swords, La under the leadership of Rev. Charles Alexander. After moving to Lake Charles in 1950 she joined Mt. Olive Baptist Church. In 1980 Bessie was an active follower of Christ which led her to New Sunlight Baptist Church under the late Rev. V.E Washington. Later in life Bessie was led to Zion Tabernacle Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Alvin Brass where she served as a deaconess until she transitioned to be with the Lord.

On June 7,1953 she married the love of her life Mr. Roy Anthony Rosamore in Lake Charles, La. Their union was blessed with seven children.

Bessie worked at Moss Bluff Manor, Lake Charles Care Center, and Holly Hill nursing facilities. She later became a private duty CNA where she retired from after taking care of her mother.

She loved baking, shopping, long talks with her siblings, going out to eat At Pats of Henderson, and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She loved fashion and expressed it through her attire with the nicest hats and matching suits, she was stylish and elegant.
