Roscoe retired from Cannon Mills, Plant #1. After retirement, he built a nice shop out back, and became an excellent shade tree mechanic. The shop was supplied with all kinds of woodworking tools, so he and his daughter could share some quality time doing woodworking. He was a long time member of Victory Baptist Church and was an avid fan of Gary’s Barbeque hotdogs, and red slaw.
The family would like to say a special thank you to Brooke, Rebecca, and Megan from Hospice of Cabarrus County for their special care and love shown to Mr. Roscoe and his family during this time.
Left to cherish his memory is his daughter, Elizabeth Sehorn and husband, Billy of Concord; brother, Sam Hopkins, Jr. and wife, Mary of Midland; numerous nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Victory Baptist Church, 111 Ross Street, China Grove, NC 28023.
