Obituary For Rosie Murphy Copeland

Sis. Rosie Murphy Copeland was born on October 26, 1927 to the late John Wesley Murphy and Mary Magdalene Weaver Murphy. Sis. Copeland gained her heavenly wings on April 5, 2020.

Sis. Copeland accepted CHRIST at an early age and joined the Friendship Baptist Church in Hamilton, GA and served faithfully until her death.

Rosie was a humble and loving person. She would give her last to anyone who was in need. Rosie enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She was united in holy matrimony to the late George William Copeland on April 21, 1946 and to this union ten children were born.

Besides her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband: George William Copeland; son: George William Copeland Jr.; and a son-in-law: Douglas Mullins.

Her memories will be cherished by her devoted children: Emma Jean Mullins, Susie Copeland Frazier, Michael (Rosie) Copeland; Peggy Ann Moore, Andrew Copeland, Glenda Faye Copeland, Mary Elaine (Gregary) McKinney, LaQuita (Ferrell) and Sandra Felicia (Bryant) Moton; one sister-in-law: Ruth Murphy; one former son-in-law Bobby Joe Frazier; a best friend: Fannie Mae Mason; 22 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; 3 great-great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends who will miss her dearly.

Instead of flowers, the family would like for you to make a donation in honor of Rosie Murphy Copeland to Columbus Hospice 7020 Moon Road Columbus, GA 31909.

I am so sorry for your loss! I have one of the sweetest memories of her! We were all out in the front yard at her house and we were playing music and she was showing us the dances from when she was young! She called it "truckin" and she danced and we laughed and joined her! She was one of the sweetest people that I had the pleasure of knowing! Rest well Mother Rosie
