She was 102 and had lived a long, productive, eventful and God-filled life. Graveside services will be at 2:30 p.m. Friday, July 15, 2005, at Bellville Cemetery in Lockesburg, Ark., with the Rev. Jack Gilliland officiating. Rosamond was a modern woman before that designation became fashionable. She finished her secondary education and earned a bachelor of science degree in education which was very uncommon at that time. She had two careers, the first, over 30 years as a school teacher and, the second, 10 as a successful farm owner and manager. She was an accomplished pianist and loved to sing. She attended church regularly, volunteered her time to civic organizations, sewed, quilted, knitted and read. And, in addition, she raised a loving family. As an aside, she is one of the few people who has seen Haley's Comet twice. Her life has been an inspiration to all who knew her, especially her family. Rosamond was born on Dec. 31, 1902, to William Dolph Enoch and Rosey Virtna Johnson in a farmhouse a few miles from Lockesburg, Ark. She was the fourth of six children to William and Rosey and the only girl. Rosey, her mother, passed away when Rosamond was eight years old. For the next six years, Rosamond lived in various situations including with an aunt and uncle and attending a Catholic boarding school. After her father remarried she returned home where she lived until age 22 when she married Thomas Edwin "Ed" McDonald, her husband of 39 years. While living with her father and stepmother, she attended a one-room school in the community of Melrose, which was three miles from her house. She enjoyed school and walked the six miles to and from school five days a week, which may have contributed to her eventual longevity. One year she had the distinction of not missing a single day of school. Two of her older brothers passed away during the flu epidemic of 1918. She graduated from Melrose community school and then became the teacher. After her wedding she continued teaching at Melrose and began a family, but the first child died and she and Ed moved to Durant, Okla., where they were graduated from Southeastern Oklahoma State Teachers College, each with a degree in teaching. For the next 30 years her career was school teaching in Oklahoma, during which time she raised a family. One year during the Great Depression, she taught for no wages due to the lack of sufficient state funds. She served as an elementary school teacher in the school of Plainview, Wapanucka, Dickson and Zaneis. Her father taught her to play the piano as a teenager and she played for a number of local community Baptist churches in which she and Ed lived. They were regular church attendees. Rosamond retired from teaching school in 1963, the year her husband died. She continued with her and Ed's lifelong goal of moving back to the farm in Arkansas. She took a run-down farm of about 350 acres and cleared the land which had become over-grown in thick brush and trees, built chicken houses having a capacity of 50,000, and established a herd of 350 head of cattle. She sold the farm in 1973 and moved to Los Alamos where she lived until 1998 when she moved to Duncan, Okla. for a year, then to Pauls Valley where she lived until her death. While living in Los Alamos she traveled to Israel and Egypt, sang in the Choral Society, and was active in senior volunteer organizations such as the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. She was a member of the hospital auxiliary, and First Baptist Church of Los Alamos. She was preceded in death by two children, four brothers and a grandson. She is survived by her daughter, Carolyn Ann Bural, Elmore City; a son, Thomas Edwin McDonald Jr. and a daughter-in-law, Myrna Kay McDonald of Los Alamos; seven grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. Wooster Funeral Home, Pauls Valley, will direct services.
