Mrs. Rosa White Derricotte, affectionately known as "Sister," was born in Stockbridge, Georgia on September 5, 1922 and moved to Atlanta, Georgia at a very young age with her family. Sister surrendered her life to Christ and was baptized at an early age. She was a long-time member of the First Church of God In Christ (Atlanta, Georgia); and later became a member of Fountain of Hope Christian Church in Atlanta, Georgia.
Sister was educated in the Atlanta Public School System and a proud graduate of the historical Booker T. Washington High School.
Mrs. Derricotte retired from the State of Georgia after 40 years of service as a laboratory assistant with the Glassware Preparation Section of the Georgia Department of Health and Human Resources.
Mrs. Derricotte encouraged her children to pursue education past a high school diploma; and she was quite proud of them in their educational accomplishments.
Sister was a quiet spirit that enjoyed spending time with her family. She was an excellent cook and her specialties were sweet potato pies and macaroni and cheese.
She was a superb fundraiser and worked tirelessly with the March of Dimes and Easter Seals.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Mr. Lewis White and Mrs. Annie Lovett White; husband, Mr. Homer Derricott; daughter, Mrs. Shirley W. Ellison; and son, Mr. Homer L. Derricott.
On Sunday, August 7, 2016, God called Sister to her final resting place as a faithful steward and servant of God.
Sister leaves in the triumph of life and death her daughter, Ms. Julia White Derricotte; sons, Mr. Eric J. Belle and Mr. Horace H. Derricotte; daughter-in-law, Mrs. Brenda Derricott; grandchildren, Mrs. Alicia Derricott (Columbus) Evans, Ms. Sonia Ellison, Mrs. Rosalind Derricott (Steve) Williams, Ms. Angel Belle, Ms. Monica Derricott Jackson, and Mr. Anthony (Enid) Derricott; great-grandchildren, Elexia N. Jackson, Colunda A. Evans, Mark (Latoya) Jefferson, Necole Hughey-Williams, Keyanna Williams (Anthony) Rice, Morganne D. Jackson, Darsha L. Jackson, DeAunna L. Jackson, Angela Storey, Quantico Dodson-Williams,
Anthony Derricott, Jr., and Aiden Derricott; and many other relatives,
including Ms. Linda Derricott, Mrs. Edith Hines (Fort Washington, MD), and Mr. Lloyd Williams, and friends.
We would like to also include in our extended family the caregivers that provided unselfish service and unconditional love during the time of Sister's illness: Sara, Stephanie Hayes, Linda, Pat McCollum, Carlotta Rome, Grace Williams, Sharon Gregory, Lillian Lane, and other VITAS Healthcare employees.
