Mary Louise Rosch, known to her friends as “Weezie”, died on August 29, 2015 at her home after a brief illness. Mrs. Anderson – Rosch was born in Memphis, Tennessee, April 1, 1922. Her parents were Audrey Galen Winn, Sr. and Grace B. Turner Winn and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. R.E.L. Turner, longtime residents of Memphis, Tennessee. Weezie graduated from Central High School in Memphis, Tennessee and attended the University of Utah after her marriage to Albert O. “Scoop” Anderson. During World War II, they lived in Oak Ridge, Tennessee for two years. The atom bomb was developed after her husband was sent there. They lived in Sarasota, Florida for forty-six years, where she was active in the Junior League. Soon after becoming a Sustainer, she was elected chairman. She was a member of the Church of the Redeemers, where she served on the Alter Guild. After her husband’s death in 1987, she later met and married Jack E. Rosch in 1989. When she and her husband moved to Thomasville, she became an active member of First United Methodist Church. Weezie was an avid golfer and very talented painter. She won many club tournaments in Florida and North Carolina. She carried a single digit handicap. She and her husband also belonged to Wildcat Cliffs County Club in Highlands, North Carolina, where they spent 23 summers and she was also a member of Glenn Arvin Country Club.
