Rosetta Dryer, born Riley, gracefully descended into the embrace of eternity on August 15, 2025, in the vibrant city of Houston, Texas. A beacon of warmth and kindness, Rosetta illuminated the lives of all who had the distinct privilege of knowing her.

Born on April 14, 1947, in the serene surroundings of Council Grove, Kansas, Rosetta was a cherished daughter of her hometown. Her formative years were graced by the natural beauty of the Flint Hills, and the influences of her early life shaped the compassionate spirit she would carry throughout her days.

With resilience and a sparkling spirit, Rosetta embarked on a journey that took her far beyond the borders of her childhood home. Her path led her to embrace new opportunities, explore different landscapes, and cultivate lasting relationships. Each chapter of her life was marked with an enduring commitment to family, friends, and community, traits that earned her a cherished place in the hearts of many.

In Houston, Rosetta’s life flourished amidst a tapestry of rich connections and fond memories. Her home became a haven for laughter, storytelling, and heartfelt gatherings. She was known not only for her boundless generosity but also for her ability to listen deeply, offering solace and support to those around her. Her strength was a steady anchor in tumultuous seas, guiding loved ones through the challenges of life with grace and empathy.

As we reflect on Rosetta's life, we remember her infectious joy, her laughter that could fill a room, and the way her spirit embraced the little moments that so often go unnoticed. She had a remarkable ability to find beauty in simplicity, always reminding us to cherish the everyday pleasures and the bonds of togetherness.

Though her physical presence is now absent from our lives, the essence of Rosetta Dryer remains woven into the fabric of our remembrances. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue to inspire and illuminate the paths of all who knew her. Today, as we say farewell, we celebrate a life well-lived, a heart so deeply loved, and the indelible mark she has left on the world.
