Rozina departed this life on Thursday, June 23, 2011 at the age of 73. Rozina accepted Christ at an early age and was affiliated with First Trinity Baptist Church. In 1956 her family moved from Oklahoma to Flint where she later united in Holy Matrimony to O. C. Keahey who preceded her in death in 2006. In her early years, she was employed with Flint Osteopathic Hospital where she worked in the laundry department. Later in life, she became a dedicated caregiver to her husband of 44 years and her beloved mother. Rozina was a joyful, caring person who loved entertaining her family and friends by cooking their favorite foods, sharing her soulful music and dancing. She also enjoyed caring for her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren while trying to keep up with the latest trends. Rozina’s favorite pass time was gardening, watching TV and reading. Rozina had a “bubbly personality” and had her own special way of making people laugh; laughter was a huge part of her life. Her days were filled with her faithful companion and dog, named “Diamond”, which she loved and spoiled. Rozina’s joyful spirit, hearty laughter and humble ways will be greatly missed. Mrs. Rozina M.
