Mrs. Rose Marie Williamson, 69, entered into eternal rest October 9, 2006. She lived a wonderful and passionate life. She will be remembered for her generosity and endless selflessness. She was our spiritual leader and always a calming and comforting emotional rock to her family and friends. She would ease our pain, wipe our tears, erase our worries and always embrace us with joy and warmth. Rose was born December 12, 1936. She graduated from Harlandale High School at age sixteen, received her diploma from Durham Business College and embarked on her illustrious career as an executive secretary and stenographer specializing in cryptic code for Electronic Security Command at Kelly A.F.B. She lived a devout Christian life and acted as an example of great kindness and charity. She offered a source of hope to many. She was an accomplished cook and songwriter and singer. But most notably, she was loyal and devoted wife and a loving supportive mother, sister, grandmother and aunt. She was always full of cheer, told great stories and was an invaluable teacher of unbiased love. She was preceded in death by her mother, Mary Gephart; father, Joseph Gephart; sisters Mary Jo Peabody, Mary Josephine Perez, Mary Ethyl Otte; brothers, Tommy Joe Gephart and Arthur Roy Diaz. She is survived by her beloved husband of 49 happy years, Charlie Chuck C. Williamson. Together, they raised seven beautiful and talented children; Katherine Rose Siviglia, son-in-law Mike Siviglia, Debra Anne Fiedler, son-in-law Walter Fiedler, Arthur Roy Williamson, daughter-in-law Debra Williamson, Joseph Charles Williamson, daughter-in-law Laura Williamson, Susan Marie Williamson, Maria Elena Williamson Zawrotny, son-in-law David R. Zawrotny and Richard Anthony Williamson, daughter-in-law Rochelle Lea Williamson. Rose was a wonderful grandmother to nine grandchildren: Jeremy and Amber Zawrotny, Dylan & Vaughn Siviglia, Miranda and Isabella Williamson, Joseph and Alissa Williamson and Arthur Ryan Williamson. She was one of nine sisters and two brothers. Remaining to honor and rejoice in her life are: Mary Elizabeth Bruton, Mary Anne Poe, Mary Angelina Ludy, Mary Dolores Grabowiecki and Mary Linda Kouns. All of her nieces and nephews, brother and sister-in-laws and friends will grieve for her loss. She will surely be missed and impossible to replace. May God bless you to meet him in his celestial glory. We will all miss you Mommy. "Till We Meet Again," with love, your family.
