Rose Mary Lynn passed away October 16, 2023 in McKinney, Texas at the age of 78. She was born to Wallace and Effie (Higginbotham) Vinsant on July 1, 1945 in Dallas, Texas. Raised in Dallas, Rose Mary came from very humble beginnings and grew up to have a large extended family that she maintained close ties with, including trips to the beach and water skiing on Lake Quitman.
She was blessed with her daughter, Evelyn, and blessings continued with sons Steve and Collin. She was a fiercely loving mother and really came into her own when she became Grammy to her grandkids and eventually great grandkids. She was ever present in their lives and took every opportunity to dote upon them. Later in life, Grammy even learned to enjoy trips to the mountains where she got to watch her grandsons ski.
Rose Mary worked hard her whole life to give the best she could to her family and to people she knew. Her gentle spirit led her to help many people, for no other reason than the kindness in her heart. In her final days, Rose Mary was surrounded by family and friends and was ready to be with her Lord and family that had gone before.
Rose Mary was preceded in death by her mother, sister, brother, and daughter. Rose Mary is survived by a host of family and friends, too many to name individually.
Rose Mary loved and was loved.
A remembrance gathering will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturday, October 21, 2023 at Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow Funeral Home in Allen, Texas.
