Obituary for Rosa Lee Walker
On Tuesday, January 16th, the LORD called our beloved Minister Rosa Lee Walker to her eternal home while at Centra Southside Community Hospital in Farmville, VA. Rosa was born in Lunenburg County, VA on August 24, 1951 to the late Jimmie and Elizabeth Lawson.
As a youth, Rosa attended Lunenburg County Public Schools. She later went on to work for Candy Early at a local clothing factory in Blackstone. Before leaving the workforce to care for her family, Rosa’s last employment that she often talked about was with Brandermill in Chesterfield. As well, Rosa was a licensed Minister at the Pentecost Church of God in Christ. There, she faithfully served on the Ministerial Staff and led several auxiliaries over the years. Even in her sickness, she was always ready to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ when called upon. Her motto was “Be ye also ready!”
