Rosalie Lawson Current, 95, of Farmington passed away Wednesday, September 20, 2017 at San Juan Regional Medical Center in Farmington.
Rosalie was born August 25, 1922 in Aztec, New Mexico the daughter of Arthur H. Lawson of Emma Rosa Probst Lawson.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Eugene R. (Sonny) Current; sister Louisa Oswell; brother Arthur Lawson, Jr.; and brother Albert McArthur Lawson (died in infancy); and son Eugene "Gene" Lee Current.
She is survived by a son Bill Current and wife Jeannie; son Ernest "Ernie" Ray Current and wife Linda; daughter-in-law Sue Current; sister Betty Waggoner; brother Robert G. Lawson and wife Rosabell; Clora Lawson, wife of the late Art Lawson; 7 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren and many dear friends.
Rosalie graduated from high school in 1940. Shortly thereafter, she worked for an attorney in Aztec and for the Aztec Pharmacy. She then went on to business college. Later, she was employed by the OPA for a short while. Rosalie married Sonny Current in 1946 and they had 3 boys. In the 60's Rosalie and Virginia Richardson spearheaded the opening of the very first concession stand to support Little League Baseball on Dustin street. Next she went to Beauty College in Farmington. This led to her opening her own business "THE HOUSE OF BEAUTY" on Ute Street in the early 60's. She made us all beautiful for 50 years.
Rosalie was passionate about gardening, cooking, water color painting, writing the Chicken Speak comic strip series for the Talon newspaper in Aztec, sending out personal painted water color Chicken Speak greeting cards to family and friends, publishing her first Chicken Speak book for little children titled "The Story of Creation and Christianity for pre-school Children as told by Chickens". And last but certainly not least, Rosalie obtained a "doctorate" in the art of selfless giving and helping others.
