Rosalyn Kay Medlock, age 61, of Onaway, died surrounded by family love, on Saturday,
August 2, 2025. The daughter of Lawrence Sr. and Helen (South) Eagleson, Rose was
born in Onaway on October 12, 1963. A bit of a gypsy spirit, she moved often and
traveled for many years before returning home to Onaway to settle down. She became
a member of Remnant Church of Jesus Christ and had unwavering faith in God that she
relied upon for her strength in facing struggles and her declining health.
Rose always referred to herself as a domestic engineer because she took care of her
home as well as working in a variety of jobs through the years. She was employed by K-
Byte in Gaylord and worked as a sales associate at Walmart. One of Rose's favorite
pastimes was crafting, including making jewelry, sewing, crocheting, and painting. An
excellent cook, she loved watching cooking shows on television and made the best
Swedish meatballs. She was an avid reader and loved music. When Rose heard a
favorite song, she would dance or nod her head to the rhythm. Her heart was full of
love for her family as well as having a special place in her heart for animals.
Rose leaves her mother, Helen Eagleson of Onaway; brothers, Larry (Debra) Eagleson
of Texas, Elvin (Debbie) Eagleson of Indiana, Wayne Eagleson of Texas, and Bill
Eagleson of Onaway; sister, Lenora Mann of Onaway; Angie (David) Foster of Tower,
Christopher Mann or "Crickett" as Rose nicknamed him, of Iowa; and many nieces and
nephews. Also surviving is her sister-in-law, Renee Black of Onaway; and adopted
siblings, Bonnie (Vernie) Pipes of Arkansas, David (Dori) Williams of North Carolina,
Bruce Zolman of Atlanta, and Greg Zolman of West Virginia.
Rose was preceded in death by her father, Lawrence Eagleson Sr., sisters-in-law,
Elaine Eagleson and Nancy Medlock; and adopted siblings, Bonnie Zolman Peters and
Gary Zolman.
Rose's family will receive friends at Remnant Church of Jesus Christ on Thursday,
August 21, 2025, from 10 AM until the time of the memorial service beginning at 11:00
AM. Elder Denise Pauly will officiate. Rose's final resting place will be at Forest Lawn
Cemetery in Tower. Those planning an expression of sympathy please consider a
contribution in memory of Rose to Remnant Church of Jesus Christ.
