Helen Rozier

Helen Louise Davis Rozier

Wrens, GA  – Helen Louise Davis Rozier, 77, loving and devoted wife of 60 years to Ernest Rozier, went home to be with her Lord Saturday afternoon, May 3, 2014 at University Hospital. Funeral services will be held at 3:00PM, Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at Wrens Baptist Church with the Reverends  J. Scott McKinney and Sean Heggood officiating. Interment will follow in the Wrens Memorial Gardens.

Helen was the middle daughter of five girls born to the late Maudie Howell Davis and the late Howard Davis in Bleckley County.  After graduating high school, she obtained a Master of Cosmetology degree in Warner Robins and retired after 35 years of “beautifying” her clients.  She met and married the loved of her life, moving to Wrens in 1966 when her husband transferred here for his job.  She and Ernest were instrumental in forming the Wrens Wrangler Square Dance Club and enjoyed square dancing for 20 years. After retiring, they loved to go camping, traveling the countryside. Helen had a passion for animals and loved Prissy and Toby, her canine “children” as well as “Button”, her cat friend.  Helen submitted herself to her Lord and Savior and served Him faithfully as a member of Wrens Baptist Church, a member of the choir and the Willis Clark Sunday School class. She was a devoted mother, providing a Christian home environment and loving her family, church family and friends unconditionally. She was known as a peacemaker—she hated strife and discord—and always found the good in people and situations. Having an outgoing personality, her desire was to get to know people, make them smile and feel God’s love through her.  With outstretched arms, she took Jesus’ hands and went to her Heavenly home where she is now experiencing Glory and singing His praises.  This woman of God was an inspiration to many and will be greatly missed.

Helen was also preceded in death by her two sisters, Dorothy NeSmith and Evelyn Mooney.  Other survivors include her children, Tommy E. Rozier and Debra Rozier Jenkins (John); two sisters, Shelby Jean Sanders (James) and Ruby Black; four grandchildren, Nick Rozier (Laura), Valerie Rozier, Shelley Jenkins and Jonathan Jenkins; a great granddaughter, Hailey Rozier; several nieces and nephews; and many friends. Pallbearers will be Ricky Holland, Scott Jackson, Danny Johnson, Tim Payne, Earl Sapp and Ritchie Sapp.  Serving as honorary pallbearers will be the Willis Clark Sunday School Class, Deacons, and Choir members.

The family will receive friends at James Funeral Home from 6:00-8:00PM Monday evening, May 5, 2014.

I’m Free

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss—
Ah, yes, these things I, too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow:
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full—I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now—He set me free!
