They were married 61 years at the time of his death. Mrs. Cole served her family and her God faithfully. After 20 years as an Air Force officer's wife, she and Colonel Cole retired to Skene, MS to engage in farming. She was an avid musician, an excellent cook, a selfless servant, an encouraging letter-writer, and a joy to be around. Undaunted optimism was a hallmark of her personality. She looked for and found the good in people and situations. Her faith in God remained unshakable to her last breath. Rosalie lived her faith throughout life serving in a variety of roles for years at First Baptist Church of Cleveland and Benoit Union Church, and in her later years at First Baptist Church of San Antonio and Hill Country Bible Church of Leander, TX. Rosalie loved her family and invested her life in them.
