Rose was born Oct. 30, 1947, in Greenville, Mississippi, to Carrie Harrison and Richard Harrison and passed away Dec. 7, 2024, in Spiro.

In 1974, Rose married Pete Boswell, Sr., in Lawton, and together they built a life filled with love, family and memorable adventures.

Rose had a vibrant and loving spirit. She cherished time with her family and was known for her love of dancing, her feisty nature because she could fight if she had to, trips to the casino, and her dedication to hard work and keeping an immaculate home. She had a deep faith in the Lord and a generous heart, always caring for stray cats and any child in need who crossed her path.

Surviving family members are her daughter, Carrie Harrison, of Spiro; her son Pete Boswell, Jr., and his wife Shantell, also of Spiro; her cherished grandchildren Frank and Aline Harrison, David and Chelsea Harrison, Dallas and Jonah Harrison, Bailey and Nelson Buckland, Thorin, Jasmine, Reddie, Randsome, Savage, Cain, Pete, Shae, Tristian, Camden and Isaiah Harrison; seven great grandchildren; many loving nieces, nephews and friends.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Pete; her brothers Richard, Barney and Johnny Harrison; her sister, Myrtle Harrison; and her daughters, Angel Boswell and Myrtle Melinda Boswell.

Rose’s legacy is one of love, resilience, and compassion. Her family and all who knew her will forever treasure the memories of her warmth, humor, and the kindness she extended to all.

“My name goes where my face has never been.”
