Roslyn contributed greatly to the musical community of Mobile; I enjoyed working with her in the Schumann Club; she always had excellent ideas. In addition, she was an inspiration in her faithfulness as a Eucharistic minister at St. Dominic. I will miss her!

Roslyn was an extraordinary woman. I have enjoyed our interesting conversations over the past 10 years. We had shared interests as members in The League of Women Voters Mobile. She has been a wonderful teacher to all by setting a great example. We will miss her! My deepest condolences to her family.

So very sorry to hear of Roslyn death. Roslyn volunteered with (RSVP) of Mobile County for many years, especially the Salvation Army Angel Tree. She was a "special" friend to me and I will always remember her! Praying for the family. May GOD give you eternal peace.
