Rosie Lea 'Grannie' Humphrey

Rosie Lea “Grannie” Humphrey, 91, of Muskogee, Oklahoma entered Heaven’s gates Thursday, July 20, 2017. She was born November 13, 1925 to Bud and Lee Ora (Hardt) Hall in Braggs, Oklahoma. Rosie married the love of her life, Charles A. “Shinny” Humphrey, on April 12, 1942 in Braggs, Oklahoma. They shared 65 years of a happy life and marriage together. Rosie worked at Brockway Glass before joining her husband and being co-owner of Shinny’s One Stop. She then worked with SWIFT’S/ VALMAC for 26 years and retired as the drawer and the assistant to the inspector. After her retirement she worked as a housekeeper for Muskogee Regional Medical Center for 17 years. Through the years Rosie attended church at Muskogee First Assembly of God and the last 4 years she attended Oldham Memorial Baptist Church. People in her church knew they could always count on Rosie to pray for them because they knew she was a “prayer warrior”. She loved her family very much and enjoyed cooking for them whenever she had the chance. Her boys will always remember the days when she would have them pick their own switch from a tree, but most of all they will remember the motherly love she always showed them. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bud and Lee Ora Hall; husband, Charles A. “Shinny” Humphrey; son, Corky Mode; grandchildren, Shelby Atchley, T.J. Fendlason and Derrek Humphrey; and brothers, Hansel Hall and J.D. Hall. Rosie is survived by her sons, Charles D.
