Katherine Rosalee (Casto) French, 91, passed away at her home of 48 years in Ripley, WV on February 12, 2019.
Rosalee was born July 5, 1927 in Given, WV, a daughter of the late Luther F. and Oma Myrtle Bowles Casto.
She often told stories of taking care of her siblings while growing up and at the age of 12, preparing meals for those working in the fields and in the garden. Every summer, she and her Mother enjoyed canning together. She was a 1945 graduate of Ripley High School and retired as a cook for the Jackson County Board of Education. Rosalee loved bowling and at the age of 50 got her Driver’s License. She was known for her immaculate yard and her gardening skills and loved it when people stopped by to sit on the porch with her and enjoy some conversation. Rosalee was a big WVU fan and always decorated her home for game day and enjoyed traveling to bowl games to cheer on the Mountaineers. She loved to read (but only after her work was done) and going to Nick Sparks book signings. She always loved her beach vacations.
Burial in the Given Cemetery, Given, WV.
