I love the Lord:

Rosie was an active member of the Usher Board and served as the group leader for many years, a member of the Senior Circle Missionary, the hostess committee, she served as the Sunday school teacher for the women’s class and on the Trustee Board.

And together they created a life they loved:
On September 11, 1954, Rosie Chapman married the love of her life, James W. Hindsman. She often said that God brought James to her, and their love made her complete. From this union they were blessed with six children Michael (deceased), Carroll Neiman (Stan), Gail Tippett (Tyrone), Yvette (deceased), Robin Stacia (Kevin), and James Rodney (Sandra). Their family grew as they welcomed ten grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. This union and their love flourished for 69 years, beginning each day with a sweet morning greeting, and ending each night with a loving reflection of the day. Their love and loyalty to each other was the foundation for all that they achieved.
Rosie was happiest when she was at home with her family. She enjoyed hobbies and community service throughout her life such as working word scramble, watching mysteries and Hallmark movies. She was a previous member of the Order of the Eastern Star and the Red Hat Society.
