Rose Marie Lively, a kind, sweet and compassionate person, cherished time spent with family, especially her grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She was very loving and caring and was quite the jokester. There was never a boring moment when in her presence. Rose’s hobbies included crocheting, quilting and cooking. Her favorite pastimes included baking sweet potato pies and watching her favorite TV shows, Walker Texas Ranger and Charmed. Rose Marie enjoyed listening to and singing gospel music. During the holidays, her home was always decorated as she welcomed family and friends to share in the holiday spirit. She will truly be missed.

She leaves to cherish sweet memories four daughters, Marquita, Temenika, Artisha and Quaneshia Lively, all of Bryan, Texas; one son, Marcus Lively, Saginaw, Michigan; grandchildren, Jay’den Byrd, Charm Lively, Dream Lively and Marcus Lively, Jr. She was joyfully awaiting the arrival of another grandchild.
