Rosie Williams Mcclain

Rosie Williams McClain, age 81, of Columbus, MS began her heavenly journey Saturday, March 6, 2021, at Dugan Memorial Nursing home in West Point, MS. While Carl and Rosie lived in Water Valley, where she served along side of Carl as he pastored and grew the First Assembly of God Church, Rosie also worked at Larson’s Big Star where she managed the deli. She also served others by sitting with the elderly. What she relished most in life was being a pastor’s wife. Rosie had many joys in her life such as Wendy’s Hamburgers, strawberry milkshakes, eating pancakes at Cracker-barrel, as well as her love for cooking. She had become well known for her chicken and dressing, and red velvet cake, two of her family’s favorites.

Visitation is planned for Tuesday, March 9, 2021, at the First Assembly of God Church in Water Valley, MS from 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM. Services will follow immediately at 2:00 PM with Rev. Milford McClain officiating. Burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery with Evan McClain, Zach McClain, Brian Ellington, Bobby Sayre, Devin Bartley, and Alex Bartley serving as pallbearers. Honorary pallbearers will be Will Collins and Jacob Webb

Left behind to honor Rosie’s memory are one son, Carl McClain Jr. (Amy) of Water Valley; two daughters, Bonnie Waller (Waymon) of Columbus, Rhonda Ellington (Glenn) of Vaiden; eleven grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren, one great-great grandchild; and two sisters, Betty Jean Lewis, and Nell Arnette, both of Lanett, AL.

Rosie was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Rev. Carl McClain; and one sister, Mary Hill and her parents Hugh and Daisy Williams.
