Born in: Jacksonville, Florida
Resided in: Lawrenceville, Georgia

Rosemary Edenfield Peck, age 83, of Lawrenceville, Georgia passed away on Friday, April 30, 2021.

She was born on August 27, 1937 in Jacksonville, Florida and resided there until age 27. She then moved to Decatur, Georgia, then to Tucker, Georgia for most of her life and settled in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Rosemary was a teller at Southern Bell in Florida. She absolutely loved working with children, as a Teacher at Livsey Elementary for most of her career. During that time, she received her master’s degree at Georgia State University then began teaching at Dekalb County Schools. “Some people are born with the answers to life”. To love and to be loved is how Rosemary lived her life. She never met a stranger.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Anita Darlene Peck. Rosemary is survived by her two daughters, Nannette George & Karen Nichols. Siblings, Norma Shephard (David), Ronnie Edenfield and Donna Epps. “Nana” was a proud grandmother to her grandchildren, Robert Krakeel (Whitney) and Jon Krakeel.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

The family would like to express a special “thank you” to Mesun Hospice for their compassion and loving care for Rosemary.

  1. CandleImageRosie……Even her name is delightful! I’ve known Rosie since I was about 20 years old. I have been blessed & graced by her kindness, generosity & dear friendship the majority of my life. She has has a profound impact on my life & the person that I am today. Together we have been through some horrible times & some awesome highs. We have shed our share of tears together & oh so many laughs together. When we would set a date to get together, I always put it on my calendar as Rosie Day & it always made me smile. I am brokenhearted at losing this dear, sweet, kind & generous friend of mine but I also know that she is happy & healthy again in the presence of our Lord & Savior. I treasure that blessing. I also know she will be there to greet me upon my arrival in heaven. Another Rosie Day to look forward to & that makes me happy & smile. Rosie, I love you!!

  2. Rosie was a loving, generous, compassionate and caring individual with a beautiful spirit.
    I first saw her in 1980. In later years she attended the same church as I although I never noticed her in the very large crowd. Then in 1998 I moved to Lilburn Terrace Apartments where her daughter, Darlene, also lived. Rosie was often caring for her daughter there.
    When Darlene passed away I attended her Celebration of Life. Rosie and I talked at length after the service. Again, later, I saw her at a nearby store and we decided to meet for lunch.
    That began a 9 and 1/2 year friendship. She ended up living with me as my caregiver.
    During that time we were gifted by her friend, Liza, with a luxury vacation to Key West. It was the most memorable trip we took during that time.
    Rosie, I love you and miss you and am anxious to see you in yet another realm.

  3. CandleImageMom, you always held me when my heart was broken.I can still feel you now…holding me. Forever on your arms. I know we will be together again in heaven one day. It is just so hard to be without you now. I love you with all my heart

  4. CandleImageI’ve known Rosie for 46 years
    She has always been kind ,generous, and loving. Whenever I was in her presence, she had a calming effect on me. She had a gift of love to all who would be in her loving presence. I will always remember her. She will be in my heart forever. I love you my beautiful friend.

  5. CandleImageTo a very sweet lady: “May the choirs of angels come to greet you, may they bring you to paradise. May the Lord enfold you in his mercy may you have eternal life.”
