At a young age, she moved to Deepwater, WV where she met and married her husband, Frank Rogers. They had four children together during their 48 years of marriage.
Roselea was a Christian who loved the Lord. She was a socially dynamic person who valued and
cherished her family and friends. She was outgoing, generous, loving, and friendly and was known for
her warm smile. For many years, she hosted family holiday dinners and birthday parties oftentimes
doing all of the cooking and baking herself. Her door was always open to family and friends and loved talking to them for hours on end either in person or on the telephone. She was extremely close to her sisters. The Pritt Sisters often talked to each other every day, gossiping and talking about each other as sisters do. She enjoyed being on social media where she could keep up on her many Nieces and Nephews who lived in multiple states. But above all, she fiercely loved her children who she would often fight and fuss with but was always devoted to and supportive of each one.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Charles (Frank) Rogers, son Jerry, parents Wheeler and Hester Pritt, brothers Donnie and Randy Pritt, son-in-law George Lockman, II, nephew Jimmy Dingee, and sister-in-law Eva Pritt.
She is survived by her children Alice Lockman, John (Deborah) Rogers, and Diana (Jeff) Lockman.

Her brothers Darrell, Melvin, and Lawrence (Ray) Pritt and her sisters Faye Gibson, June Dingee, and Erma (Lionel) Gray as well as many Nieces, Nephews, and friends.
We would like to thank the staff at Montgomery General Hospital and CAMC Memorial Hospital for their compassionate and loving care they gave to our Mom. We would also like to give a special thank you to Jonna Pell for her love, care, and friendship she showed to our Mom every day.
Roselea left her children a letter before she passed that read “Laugh a lot, make good jokes about me, enjoy yourself. And one day we will all be together again.” She had to get the last word in and was bossy to the end. But, as always, we do what she tells us to do. We love you Mom!
