Our beloved Rosalee went to be with the Lord, Christmas Day, 2024, age 91. Born Mary Rosalee Tolley on April 15th, 1933 to Roy Virgil Tolley and Orpha Belle Tolley in Charleston, West Virginia, Rosalee was raised an only child in her family’s Christian home. By age 11 Rosalee was playing piano for her family’s church “Dunbar Mountain Mission” and continued to play there for 25 years until she moved to Florida as an adult with her family and her mother.
Rosalee also met Don Legg at Dunbar Mountain Mission and they began to notice each other while sharing their love for Jesus and using their talent in music and singing for His glory. True love ensued and they were married on August 14, 1954. Donnie came along in 1956 and Darrell in 1961.
Rosalee was passionate about serving Christ and exemplifying His love. She was dedicated to church service in music, fellowship and ladies ministries. She was well known for being a good cook, a talented musician, and also an avid fan of her favorite gospel group “The Gaither Vocal Band” even visiting them in concert and regularly enjoying their videos on youtube everyday. She was a good listener, and a good friend, compassionate, showing love for all, especially her family.
