"Rosa Lea (Lowe) Stacy went to be with her heavenly father on July 8, 2023, at the beautiful age of 79. She was loving, kind-hearted, and generous person to all that she came in contact with. Being widowed in her early years of marriage, she dedicated her life to her children and still found time to volunteer and help others. During these years, she developed into the strong independent woman that showed compassion and a great deal of spunk for life."After her children were grown, she moved to Lexington, North Carolina to work and make a life for herself. She enjoyed attending church and loved the Lord with all her heart. Her love for her grandchildren and great grandchildren was unconditional and she enjoyed every moment with them while sharing some of her talents teaching them to crochet and sew. Throughout her years she enjoyed reading, her favorite book was the Bible, and she would make time daily for the Lord. Rosa left a legacy with her innumerable crocheted blankets and dolls that were given to many as keepsakes, celebrations, and births. She will be missed dearly by many and remembered for the love she had for the Lord and others. Now she is resting in the arm of Jesus.
"Rosa is preceded in death by her father and mother, Clarence and Pliney Dawson Lowe; husband, Dennis Lee Stacy; Son, Ricky Dean Stacy; and several siblings.
"Those left to cherish Rosa’s memory are daughters: Janet (William) Stinson of Lexington, North Carolina; Theresa (Tim) Hunt of Thomasville, North Carolina, Charlotte Stacy of Northfork, West Virginia, and Dorothy (Todd) Spencer of Denton, North Carolina; Son: Dennis Stacy Jr of Bartley, West Virginia; Grandchildren: Heather Golden, Angela (Lee) Wilkey, Trista (Johnny) Gilmore, Joshua Helton, Ashley (Colton) English, Coty (Yadira) Helton, Tyler (Kristina) Hunt, Dylan Hunt, Zackary (Samantha) Stacy, and Kaylee (Bryson) Rominger; Great Grandchildren: Bryson, Brooklyn, Timber, Anabelle, Mason, Jada, Zane, Brazil, Charlemaine, Ryker, Lawson, Mitchell, and Weston.
"Funeral services will be held at 1:00 PM on Thursday, July 13, 2023, at the Mount Carmel Church in Atwell, West Virginia, with Rev. Douglas Lowe officiating.
