Mrs. tRosanna ^eaCous Hunter, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, May 10, 2003, at University Hospital.

She was also preceded in death by one daughter, Shirley Ann Hunter.
Rosanna accepted Christ as her Savior and was baptized at Sec ond Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Appling, Georgia. Her love and devotion to Christ was marked by years of dedicated service. She was a faithful member of Pierce Grove Baptist Church where she served in the Senior Choir, on the Deaconess Board, Womens Mission and participated in other church ministries.
