Winfield P. Rose, 96, husband of Mildred G. Rose of Stuarts Draft, VA, passed away on Monday, June 28, 2021 at The Meadows.
He was born April 28, 1925 in Nash County, NC to Ira W. and Juanita P. Rose and grew up in Chapel Hill.
He served two years in the Navy and graduated from the UNC School of Pharmacy in 1948. He was a pharmacist and co-owner of Foster Drug Store in Greensboro, NC for many years where he faithfully served the health needs of the community.
Winfield was a member of First Baptist Church Greensboro from 1955 to 2012 before moving to Virginia to be closer to family. He taught Sunday School in the junior department for many years. He had a heart for missions and went on several missionary trips over the years.
Winfield loved "Carolina" athletics, especially basketball and football. He also enjoyed model railroads, astronomy, anything scientific, and "chocolate." Most of all, he enjoyed his legacy – "his family," whom he loved dearly.
He is survived by Mildred G. Rose, his wife of 71 years; two sons, Dan W. Rose and his wife Shan of Soddy Daisy, TN, and Steve M. Rose and his wife Valerie of Waynesboro; four grandchildren; and twelve great-grandchildren, all of whom loved and adored him.
A Celebration of Life for the family will be held at 11:00 AM, Monday, July 5, 2021, at Wayne Hills Baptist Church, Waynesboro, VA, with burial at a later date in Chapel Hill, NC.
Memorials may be sent to Greensboro Youth For Christ, P.O. Box 516, Greensboro, NC 27402-0516; [email protected].
