A loving wife, mother, and grandmother passed away Monday, October 7, 2024, at the age of 79. She was a fervent prayer warrior, and loving mother. She was born in Helena, Alabama and moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the age of seven. She resided in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the remainder of her life. She met the love of her life, Tommy Rowland, at a car accident on Plank Road. They were married on December 8, 1962, and remained married until his passing on March 9, 2015. She was a devoted wife and mother. She was active in her church and was blessed with the gift of hospitality. She was the friend that would walk five miles in your shoes.
