Rosa Mae Roye Beverly passed away peacefully at the Pine View Nursing Home in Clinton MD on Monday July 15, 2019.

Rosa was preceded in death by her husband Fred Beverly, her daughter Pamela Vessels, her siblings—Pauline White, Willie Roye Jr. and, Corrine Robinson.

Rosa graduated from Union High School Bowling Green, Virginia. After high school she moved to Washington DC where she work as a restaurant waitress, and later as an administrative assistant. She retired from Walter Reed Army Medical Center after many years of loyal service.

Rosa was introduced to Christ at an early age, was baptized and began her Christian journey joining the Jerusalem Baptist Church, and later became an associated member with the Bethesda Baptist Church, Washington DC.

Rosa was a loving mother to her late daughter Pam and her six grandchildren, they meant the world to her. She had a large given heart and would do whatever she could to help a family member or friend in need. Her life testimony was, If I can help somebody, as I travel along my living shall not be in vain. She was full of life, a great sense of humor, and didn't have a problem speaking her mind.

We the family thank God for allowing us to have her as part of our lives for so many years. Rosa Mae leaves us now to cherish her loving memory, her sister Anne Bennett (Clarence) of Morven NC. Her brother, Robert Roye (Linda) of Manassas VA.
