Rosalie Boyd
August 27, 1932 — February 22, 2023
Rosalie Marie Boyd, 90, of Dover, TN passed away on February 22, 2023 at Ahava Healthcare, Clarksville, TN.
Rosalie was born on August 27, 1932 in Granite City, IL. She was the daughter of Mary and John Konarcik, Jr. She lived in Granite City for most of her early life. As a girl, she did volunteer work at the hospital. She was a secretary at Union Starch. Rosalie met and married the love of her life, William Nolan (Boots) Boyd in 1951. They were happily married for 52 years before his passing in 2003.
Rosalie came to Stewart County when she and her husband bought a farm in 1976. They resided near Carlisle for the rest of their lives. They were Patriarchs, founding members and continued supporters of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Church. Friends, neighbors and the community knew Rosalie from her 18 years as a cook at the Royal Care Nursing Home, where she was a favorite of staff and patients, and went out of her way to please folks who needed assistance with dietary restrictions.
Rosalie spent her time sewing, quilting and cooking delicious meals for her family. She was happiest when her home was filled with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her first great-great-grandchild is due in May.
