On Saturday, August 5, 2017 we come together to celebrate a special home going service for Rosetta Cobbs also known as Tella. God called her home on July 28, 2017 after a brief illness at her residence.
Rosetta was born July 29, 1948 the daughter of the late Frank and Nancy Riley. She was educated in the Public School System of Dorchester County.
Rosetta was united in holy matrimony to the late Allen Cobbs, Sr. for forty three years. This union was blessed with two loving and handsome sons.
