Mrs. Rosalie Krider Timmons, 87, of Naples, FL, and formerly of Wilmington, DE, passed away on October 26, 2025. Mrs. Timmons was a native of Baltimore, MD, and was a graduate of the former Eastern High School for girls.

Rosalie was employed in the Baltimore City State's Attorney Office when she married Earl L. Timmons of Berlin, MD in 1960. After his active-duty military service was completed, the couple moved from El Paso, TX to Wilmington where they resided most of their married lives, except for several years in the 1980s in Houston, TX, until moving to Florida in 2004.

In Wilmington, Rosalie was active in the Junior Board of St. Francis Hospital, was a volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House, and in several other charitable endeavors. She was particularly active in the "Shoes That Fit" organization in Bonita Springs, FL, chairing the group for two years. She cherished time with her family, spending many Summers with her children and grandchildren in Ocean City, MD. She was a member of the Wilmington Country Club, where she enjoyed 9-hole golf.

She is survived by her husband and two children, Lori A. Wray (Dale), and Earl L. Timmons, Jr. Grandchildren who survive her are Jamie Lynn McHugh (Ian), Scott J. Ingman, A. Maxwell Timmons (Katie), Broderick K. Timmons, Nicholas K. Timmons, Lauren Wray (Austin), and Caroline Wray (Trip). Three great-grandsons survive, Carson Andrew McHugh, Dylan Daniel McHugh, and Rowan Marshall Timmons. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, William and Emily Krider, two brothers, Ross and Paul Krider, and a grandson, Andrew Ross Timmons.
