Reflections

Rosa LeeJoi Parks was born in Columbus, Ohio on January 1, 1992, (as the youngest of 4Gsnaro).

Rosa is preceded in death by her grandparents Marvin H. and Sarah L. Edmondson; Clyde E. (Sr.) and Gloria J. Parks; and niece Iya Logan.

Rosa is survived by parents Clyde (Roslyn) Parks and Charmayne (Jeffrey) Binns; children Jami’el (father Joshua & grandmother Deborah) Williams and Ameri’Lee (father Robert Smith & Grandmother Jullia Phillips); siblings Tyneshia Edmondson-Stewart, Iyeshia Logan and Charmayne Edmondson Thomas; godparents Michael Armstrong and Lisa Rodriguez-Allen; godsisters Megan Armstrong and Tatiyanna Rodriguez-Allen; special friends Sandra and Autumn; hosts of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Rosa attended Fair Avenue Elementary, Franklin Alternative Middle, where she ran track and East High School, where she was simultaneously a cheerleader and a member of the Best Damn Band in the Land (Funk Mob), as a snare drummer.

In her short 32-years, Rosa accomplished many things...her greatest accomplishment was her two children.  She had a passion for doing hair and a great business sense. 

Rosa was very spiritual all of her life and attended My Father’s House and New Birth Christian Ministries.

Rosa’s last quote was: “Every Family needs one unstable daughter that fears nothing and is willing to go to war with anyone that messes with here tribe”.
