Rose E. Perkins, daughter of the late James and Isabelle Perkins, was born on Saturday February 1, 1947 in Nassawadox Virginia. She went home to be with the Lord on Sunday October 30, 2022 at the age of 74.

 

Rose received her education from William C. Jason Comprehensive High School in Georgetown Delaware. After school, she entered the workforce. Rose Loved her family, especially her children and grandchildren, and you would find her grandchildren spending summers with her.

​

At any given time, Rose would be encouraging her family and often telling them how proud she was of all of them. She truly loved the Lord and every chance she had, she would tell you how good He was to her. If no one else told you what you needed to know to be saved, she did! One of her favorite sayings was, “The devil is a lie," meaning, she would not let anything get her down. Rose loved her church, Jesus is Lord Church of Deliverance.

​

Rose was preceded in death by her parents, James and Isabelle Badger-Perkins; brother, Cecil Wise; and sisters, Gladys Mae Wise, Lizzie Mae Perkins, Elizabeth Mullen, and Ethel Mae Wise.
