Rosie Lee Walker
Rosie Lee Walker passed away at her home in Groesbeck on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023, at age 87.
Rosie was born in Eldridge to Willie Albert Wetz and Bettie Lee (Zikuhr) Wetz on Aug. 18, 1935, and she grew up in Houston.
Rosie was united in marriage with David William Walker, Sr., in Houston on Oct. 29, 1951. Rosie and David, and their two sons moved from Houston to Kosse in the late 70s. Of all the professions in her lifetime, she was most proud of her time working at the Limestone County Detention Center in Groesbeck.
However, being a mother was the greatest source of pride in her life. Rosie had moved to Groesbeck from Kosse five years ago to be closer to her family.
Rosie was preceded in death by her parents, W.A. “Bill” and Bettie Lee Wetz; her husband, David William Walker, Sr; a son, David William Walker, Jr; and a grandson, David William Walker, III; and her brother, Julius Wetz and sister, Edna Nelson.
She is survived by her son, Shannon Rousey and his family, Jaclyn Duncan and Cade Duncan; and a granddaughter, Malesia Kelsey and husband Brian; and two sisters, Charlene Byrns and husband Johnny and Betty Jean Brockman; nieces and nephews; and her friends at Accent Home Health and Hospice.
