Rosie (Rosetta) Barrett, Our beloved angel, was born to the parentage of Rosie Lee and George Brown on January 13, 1946, in Cleveland, MS. She departed this life on August 20, 2020 in Clarksdale, MS at the Northwest Mississippi Medical Center.

In her early years, she attended Mount Sinai School in Tchula, MS. As she realized the need for Christ at a young age, she joined Jerusalem Baptist Church in Tchula, MS, where she served as a dedicated and long-standing member.

You were my biggest cheerleader, my best friend, my dear sweet mother. You left a hole where my heart use to be. The day you died , part of me died with you. I'll always love and miss you. RIP MOM

Mama Barrett, was a amazing woman and I'm glad I had the pleasure of meeting her. MB, Bunny & Roger(my brothers) I'm so sorry you lost a great woman in your life. Just know that I'm here for you, wish I could've made it there to her home going. I love you my brothers, and just know you will get through this.

Roger it seems like just yesterday when you would ask me to spend the night over your house and to bring the Nintendo with me. The next day your mother would have breakfast ready for us but I truly remember later on she would have those neck bones and pinto beans. I actually credit your mother with making that my favorite meal. She was always so kind to me and what truly let me know that Ms. Rosie was good person is that my grandmother let me spend the night with you all. She would definitely not just trust me to stay with just anyone. Ms. Rosie Barrett you are greatly missed. To Roger and the entire Barrett family you have my deepest condolences.
Sincerely Anthony L. Russell
