Rosa Auman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 20, 2010.

Rosa W. Auman, 84, a 50 year resident of Asheboro, died on Monday, October 18th, at Brookridge Retirement Community in Winston-Salem.

Rosa graduated from Yadkinville High School in the class of 1943 and attended Pfeiffer University for 2 years and graduated from Guilford College in 1947.

She accepted a job with the Asheboro City School System and began teaching Bible in both elementary and junior high schools throughout the system.

In the 1970's when the Bible Program was removed from public schools, Rosa received a Master's Degree in Library Science from UNG-Greensboro and became a librarian at North Asheboro Middle School.

Rosa met and married Samuel Auman in 1952. Sam worked for Walker Shoe Company as a sales representative. Both Rosa and Sam were active in the First Evangelical & Reformed Church for many years.

Rosa served 45 years as an educator and public servant. Her greatest impact was as a witness for Jesus Christ both in her personal and professional life. In addition to her years of teaching bible in the public schools, Rosa also taught bible at Randolph Community College. She loved teaching Sunday school lessons at Harmony Grove Friends Church in Yadkinville, in the Myrtle Warden Sunday School Class. Rosa's life was the testimony of a good and faithful servant of Jesus Christ and when the Lord called her home, he said, "Job Well Done".

I am a 47 year old woman who was lucky enough to be in the Asheboro School district and have the pleasure of being taught Bible by Mrs. Auman. I clearly remember her face and her love for the Bible and the Lord. She made the Bible exciting for us elementary school kids and it was a passion for her. She really made an impression on me and and helped direct me to be a Christian as an adult. I believe I am a fruit of her labors.

I remember when Mrs. Auman would come to Lindley Park Elementary School in Asheboro for Bible Study. She was a very gifted and animated speaker that the stories of the Bible would come to life through her teachings. I can still visualize her standing in front of the classroom telling us the stories of Noah's Arc, Moses, Sampson & Delilah to name a few. By sharing the basic knowledge of the Bible, Mrs. Auman laid the foundation for many students with whom she came across. Heaven is lucky to have her as their angel.

Rosa was one of our special friends when we were at the First Evangelical & Reformed Church in Asheboro, NC. She was a wonderful Sunday School Teacher, and our son enjoyed her classes at school. Her whole life was a witness to everyone. She was great lady with a warm smile. We enjoyed visiting with her and Sam in their home many years ago and will never forget them for the impact they made on our lives. With Heartfelt Sympathy to the Family, Calvin and Virginia White
