Daughter of John Wright Rose & Susan King
1973 memorial read to Rhodes Monthly Meeting; to be read at the Quarterly Meeting and at the Yearly Meeting, Guilford College-
Hettie Rose Pipkin, daughter of John Wright and Susan King Rose, was born March 23, 1887 in Johnston County. In 1900, her family moved to Wayne County where she spent the rest of her life.
She married in 1906 to Ernest James Pipkin and they became the parents of five children; Lillian P. Potts; Margaret P. Thigpen; Rose P. Gin; Edna P. Price; all of Mount Olive, and John M. Pipkin now of Guilford College. Her husband passed away in 1970.
Her father was instrumental in the organization of Rhodes Friends Church which was named for his mother's family. Many of the charter members and their families either died or moved away causing the membership at Rhodes to become quite small, so that during the period between 1920 and 1940, many times Hettie Rose Pipkin and her family were almost the entire attendence at Sunday School and meetings for worship. Her family were leaders in the teaching of classes, playing the organ, and she was for many years teacher of the Beginner's class.
Many times on Saturdays, she walked to the Church to sweep and clean, and then back on Sundays for the services. The minister was always welcomem in her home. she was a devout Christian, a kind and loving friend, and a wonderful neighbor. She was good about visiting, especially new people in the community, taking vegatable from the garden or some thoughtful gift, and when there was sickness around she was often called to minister to their needs bothe physical and spirtual.
She loved people so much that she kept a huge scrapbook, filled with clippings of people she knew, concerning their accomplishments and their deaths.
When her health failed and she was unable to attend Sunday School and Church, she retained her interest in the work to the extent that when a lot was needed on which to build a parsonage for Rhodes Friends' Minister, she and her husband gladly gave it. And when she heard that the Church was starting an organ fund, she expressed a wish to contribute and for children to do likewise. Many of her friends have made contributions to this fund as a memorial to her, which is very fitting since she loved music so much.
In her death on April 12, 1973, her Church and her friends have sustained a great loss, for in her physical absence, her prayers were still with us. " Her children arise up, and call her blessed." Proverbs 31:28
We fell that our loss is her gain in that she has gone to be with the Lord in that home not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
