Obituary for Rosemary Ross
Rosemary
Drywater Ross, also known by her family and friends as “Rosie” went to
be with the Lord on August 5th, 2020 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. She was
born in Moody, Oklahoma on May 20, 1944 to Joe Drywater and Lucy (Sands)
Drywater. Rosemary attended Moody Public Schools and finished through
her 8th grade year.
Rosie met Jack Ross in 1962. Jack swept her off her feet and soon began a life of love and adventure together. They raised four children: Anthony, Angie, Nikki, and Jamie. Rosie enjoyed many things in her life. She was fluent in her language and loved sharing it her friends and family. She loved to praise God through gospel singing and began her singing career with her brothers and sisters as The Gospel Four; and then soon began to sing with the Cummings Family. She attended and was a member of Steeley Springs and was a deaconess at New Mission Baptist Church. She traveled many of miles and testified of God’s Grace, Love, and Glory.
Rosie also had a passion of gardening. Her garden was always open to her family and friends to enjoy. Rosie and Jack would make many trips to North Carolina to visit their close friends, The Smokers. One of her many passions was to hit the garage sales. She knew how to spot those deals.
Her second passion was her family and grandkids. Rosemary and Jack waited a long time to become grandparents, and once the grandkids started coming, they didn’t stop. Rosie always loved when she had her kids and grandkids at the Ross Ranch. She would always have her famous homemade biscuits and a pot of beans waiting for them in her kitchen.
Rosie is proceeded in death by her husband, Jack Ross; her siblings Irene Samms, Bill Drywater, Pauline Cheater, Gorge Drywater, Janie Fields, Jessie Chochran, and Mary Brackett; and her parents Joe and Lucy Drywater.

She also leaves behind four loving children: Anthony Drywater, of Tahlequah, OK, Angie Young and husband Darryl Young, of Tahlequah, OK, Nikki Ross and wife Sunrise Ross, of Coweta, OK, and Jamie Walters, of Tahlequah, OK.
