A native of Bordelonville, she moved to Church Point with her father. Rosie attended Church Point High School (Class of 1935) and worked selling tickets at the Bijou Theatre where her father worked as manager/ projector operator. Although Rosie and her father enjoyed living at the Breaux Hotel, when financially able he relocated his wife and younger children to Church Point as well. Mr. D'Amores also managed the Joy Theatre which he later purchased. Work in the theatre became a family business with her mother and younger siblings also working alongside Mr. D'Amores. A favorite story Rosie told was of her and Louis traveling the countryside to "show". She sold tickets and Louis operated the projector where people watched the movies projected on the side of barns. Rosie loved her family and enjoyed life as a homemaker, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother. She loved having her family over to celebrate special occasions - especially when cake was to be served. In fact, she often served cake and coffee before the main meal! She was an excellent seamstress and took great pride in being properly dressed at all times. Even in the last year of her life, she enjoyed having her hair, makeup and nails done. She was a true matriarch. Rosie died peacefully on Thursday, January 4, 2018, surrounded by family at a place she called home, Our Lady of Prompt Succor in Opelousas, LA. Survivors include her son Austin and Gernice W. Guidry; grandchildren, Lance L. and Cynthia P.
