Rozmae Cole Easton

Rozmae died Sunday night, January 21, 2018, at her home in Oak Ridge North, TX where she had resided for almost exactly 50 years. The only daughter of Orville and Conway “Connie” Cole, she was born on November 16, 1932 in Mirando City, Texas. At the age of two, her family moved to the Houston area. She graduated from Aldine High School, then worked at Foley’s downtown in the credit department while attending community college. Later, while working at Braniff she met and married a handsome air traffic controller, Richard “Dick” Easton. They bought a house in South Houston and began building their family. When the Intercontinental Airport opened up, Dick and Rozmae and the four kids moved to the suburbs of south Montgomery County. In midlife she worked as travel agent, a school aide, and a medical transcriptionist, but always seemed happiest being a mom and “Grammy.” She was quite a seamstress, whether it was shirts and dresses or Halloween costumes; she was a formidable game player, specializing in cards, Scrabble, and Yahtzee; and she was an adventurous and fun camper, introducing her children and grandchildren to the great outdoors in half a dozen states. She read the Houston Post, and then the Houston Chronicle faithfully every day, and completed the Jumble (almost) everyday until just a few months before her passing. She is predeceased by her husband, her son David, her parents, and her older brother, Oggie.

She is survived by her children: Rick Easton, Susie Robinson and husband Kevin Morse, and Dan Easton, who was also her devoted caregiver; Grandchildren: Kate Beckwith and husband Caleb Beckwith, Meg Mata and husband Roy Mata, Daric Easton, and Maddy Easton; great-granddaughter Luna and Luna’s mother Lindsay Lutz; her brother Tom Cole and wife JoAnn, as well as a host of beloved nieces and nephews, cousins and many dear friends. We will miss her so much but we are so glad to have known and loved her, and have been loved by her.

We will gather to celebrate her life on Saturday, Feb. 24, 2018 at 1 PM at Northwoods Unitarian Universalist Church 1370 North Millbend Dr., The Woodlands, TX 77380. In lieu of flowers, donations to Planned Parenthood, Doctor’s Without Borders or Meals on Wheels would be greatly appreciated. Please send condolences or memories to rreaston@sbcglobal.net
