Rosalie Katurah Morgan Thompson, “Rose”, of Mechanicsville, MD passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on December 19, 2023.

Later in life, she then married her childhood sweetheart, Floyd Thompson, on February 15, 2023 in Leonardtown, MD. Rosalie is survived by her two daughters, Cecelia Rosalie Morgan and Nina Caroline Raley, both of Mechanicsville, MD, stepdaughters Kerry Kaldendack, Ellen McConnel, Connie Hager, Jill Wood, Amy Hunt, and Martha Thompson, stepson, Frank Thompson, siblings, James “Doc” Oliver, Jr. (Linda), Nellie Kaufman (Bernie), Romaine Johnson (Bobby), Lemule Oliver (Brenda), Paul Oliver (Barbara), Henry Oliver (Arleen), all of Mechanicsville, MD, Georgia Hurry of Chaptico, MD, and Yevonne Oliver (Donald) of Lacross, VA, grandchildren, Sharness Dickens, Lewis Morgan IV, Madison Mattingly, Ray Raley, Anthony Dickens III, and Melanie Raley, as well as two great grandchildren Zalaya Dickens and Luke Mattingly. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lewis Morgan, Jr., her son Lewis Morgan III, and her siblings, Donny Oliver (Mary Ann), Susan Lacey (Tommy), and Kenny Oliver. Rosalie was a lifelong resident of Budds Creek, MD. She spent most of her life as a homemaker who often loved to babysit. Her hobbies included sewing, canning, gardening, and going to play slots. Rosalie enjoyed playing cards on Sundays with her family and sister-in-law, Donna Raye, who always had her back. She really loved going on outings down by the river with her hubbie, Floyd. Rosalie never met a stranger and always gave her opinion freely; if you met her once you’d never forget. She was loved by many, including her large family of nieces and nephews, and will be dearly missed.
