Bliss went home to be with the Lord on October 20, 2022. She was born March 19, 1938, the only child of Ida Marie Harris, in Chicago, IL. She accepted Christ as a teenager at 15 years old. She was employed at Speigel Cleaners in Chicago, IL and later went on to work as a Nanny. Rosalie loved the Lord and loved to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. She would sing Gospel Music every Sunday on the radio as one of the backup singers for Mahalia Jackson. Rosalie inherited her talent from her mother who was a professional violinist, that performed in an all-girls' orchestra and in the Chicago Symphany Orchestra. Rosalie relocated to Kalamazoo 18 years ago for a more peaceful life in her old age. She joined Mt. Zion Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Dr. Addis Moore. Rosalie was known to be a soft-spoken, praying woman who saw the good in everyone. She wouldn't judge a person and would always pray for them. She loved the Word of God and would read her bible daily. Rosalie loved to watch her favorite television shows: Law & Order, Perry Mason and Murder She Wrote along with some movies on Lifetime and the Hallmark Channel. She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially during the holidays. She was loved by family, friends and her church family. She will be missed and loved by all who knew her. Rosalie is preceded in death by her mother, Ida Marie Harris. She leaves to cherish her memories: 5 loving children, Sandra Bliss, Joyce Bliss, Valerie Bliss, Mary (Ernest) Robinson and James (Kimberly Spreece) Zeno; 13 grandchildren; 5 great grandchildren and many other relatives and friends, along with her Mt. Zion Baptist Church Family. Mama, we will always love you from now until eternity. Rest in Peace, Mama, we love you!
