Rosie L. Thompson, 90, of Indianapolis, passed away peacefully on the night of November 22, 2025. She was born in Minter City, Mississippi to Dan and Margie Harris. Rosie was preceded in death by her husband, Wilbert Thompson, and her siblings. Rosie is survived by all seven of her children. From her children, Rosie had grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren totaling forty-four souls. Rosie was the essence of what it means to be a giver. Throughout her life, she consistently put others ahead of herself. She was a compassionate person. In her home and in her heart, she made room for everyone. Whether or not she knew you personally, Rosie had the uncanny ability to help everyone that she could with whatever that she had. She gave far more than she received. She accepted less than she should have accepted. All that she experienced (positively and negatively) during her time here on earth shaped her into the powerful lifeforce that she became. Rosie's departure has left empty spaces in the lives of so many people. Her presence, essence, and love will be greatly missed. A private celebration of Rosie's journey through life will be held at a later date.
