Rose Readom transitioned on Saturday, June 27, with her family surrounding her. Rose Readom was born to Ethel Wimbly Readom and George Readom on January 2, 1951 in Lafayette, Louisiana. She accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior and was baptized at Pleasant Green Baptist Church by the late Dr. I.J. Joiner at an early age. She was reared in Abbeville and was a graduate of James A. Herod High School. After graduating from high school, she joined Job Corps and moved to Dallas, Texas. She later moved back home and stayed until God called her home.
Upon returning to her hometown of Abbeville, she met Pastor Donnie Bolden and Prophetess Annie Bolden and joined in with the ministry of Lighthouse For Jesus. She allowed God to use her and served in many capacities. Since then, she has been a pillar of the church and she served as a Sunday School teacher. At Lighthouse for Jesus , she allowed God to use her and she coordinated the 1st Pas- tor’s Appreciation. She was the church’s van driver, she was an active member of the Praise singers. She was a dependable deliverer of dinners, she was a member of the Daughters of Rahmen. She was one of the first choir directors of the church. She was a fervent prayer warrior and led the prayer in- tercessory group. She was also a teacher at Lighthouse Christian Academy for 18 years. Everyone she met knew that she was a true Woman of God and a soldier in the army of the Lord. She always wore that infectious smile and always showed the love of God to everyone she came in contact with. She would never do anything that would cause anyone to scandalize her name. Her greatest loves were God first, her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, her Lighthouse for Jesus family. She enjoyed hanging out with her “bestie” and “ride or die” friend, Sis. Trula. She also loved to hang out with her other “bestie” Sis. Rita and she was always seen with her daughter, Renee.
