Roselia was joined in holy matrimony to Walter Wright on December 21, 1935. This union was blessed with three children, Robert, Ruby and Betty Jean. Mrs. Wright was a lifelong member of Heard A.M.E. Church in Roselle where she enjoyed participating with the South Carolina Club of the church. Roselia Wright departed this life on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 at home at the age of 94. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Walter in 1983. "Ma-Ma" as the grandchildren called her, they loved and had a special bond with her. She took pleasure cooking and baking for them; especially her sweet potato pies. Anyone who met (Rose) loved her and knew she would do anything she could for them. Also, she never hesitated speaking her mind. She was a wonderful, loving mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. She will be sadly missed.
