On September 7, 2023, Rosie McGrady, 94, a longtime resident of Floyd, joined her husband for their 77th wedding anniversary with angel wings. She was a resident of Heritage Hall, Blacksburg, VA. She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Lawrence McGrady; mother & father, Viola and Trever Marshall; and her sisters, Lorene, Winnie, and Lassie.
She leaves behind her daughters and son-in-law, Joyce McGrady and Janice and Larry Weeks; grandchildren, Jessica Cromer (Michael), Joshua Cromer, Jason Weeks (Donna), Travis Weeks and wife Katie; and her great-grandchildren, Kaylee Wood and Grady Weeks. She will also be remembered by her numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends.
Rosie loved baking her famous homemade biscuits, canning vegetables from Lawrence's garden, tending her beautiful flowers, crocheting unique doilies and afghans, and would always welcome company to eat her unforgettable chicken and dumplings anytime they visited. In her younger days she loved to go see Conway Twitty in concert. In recent years, she enjoyed participating in group activities such as playing bingo, attending tea parties, receiving manicures, and visiting with family during her stay in assisted living.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 10, 2023 in the Maberry Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Roy Turpin officiating. Interment will follow in the Jacksonville Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. prior to the service at the funeral home.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at English Meadows and Heritage Hall.
