Rose DuShane Cowan, age 69 of Biloxi, passed away on Saturday, October 31, 2020. She was originally from Meridian but considered Biloxi her home after relocating in 2001 to be with her “grandbabies”.

She was retired from Bell South/AT&T and a long-time attendee of Cedar Lake Assembly. She loved her Lord Jesus Christ, her husband, her boys, her “grands”, and, of course, her multitude of friends! She had a passion for cooking, traveling, hiking the trails of the Smoky Mountains, cruising, etc.

A graveside service will be held at 2:00 PM, Saturday, November 7, 2020, at Coalville Cemetery, Biloxi.
