Mrs. Rosie Lee Flood

She was educated in Arcola, Mississippi and later moved and settled in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Rosie Lee had a kind heart that was easily moved to give to those in need and when she was younger she loved to listen to the blues. She had a fondness for children, cooking and eating a good home cooked meal. She was blessed with a keen sense of humor and a warm smile that showed her concern for others. Her interests also included studying the Bible. Rosie Lee was never too busy to talk about God's word. And she would welcome many to her home to chat a bit about the Bible.

She was employed at Mechanics Laundry. And, because of her fearlessness in speaking up for herself, she was moved to do so for others. She helped many to receive fairness in the workplace. This led to her being elected to the position of Union Board Member and later, President of AFL CIO local 3017, which positioin she served in until she retired.
