Rose Marie Ellis (Rosie), born on June 12, 1955, to the union of Daniel W. and Minnie Ola (Tanksley) Ellis, was suddenly escorted by an angel at the age of 67 on November 26, 2022. Rosie graduated in 1973 from Bridgeton public schools. After high school she worked for Leons, Assem Pak, and the blind center assisting the disabled. Shortly after her health started to decline, she was no longer able to work. Rosie resided in Bridgeton where she raised her children and later became a resident of Millville, NJ. Rosie gave her heart to the Lord at an early age. She attended Mount Baptist Hill Church under the leadership of Reverend Walker and Earl Sudd in Deerfield, NJ. Cooking was her passion and she loved to watch people enjoy her food. Stuffing and Sweet potato cobbler were among her specialties. Spending time with her family and life partner of 46 years, Warren, brought her joy. If you knew Rosie, you know she was very outspoken and did not hold back, but it was all out of love. She had a special connection with each one of her kids, whom she spoiled, and they spoiled her. Having the kids take her shopping and out to eat was a special bonding moment.
