George and Rose Jackson Polatty Endowment
Supporting the Families at RUMC with RUMC Worship Arts
George and Rose were a pivotal part of Roswell and through their tireless community dedication, together, they made Roswell a wonderful place to raise a family. Family was most important to them and the RUMC church community was the center of their lives. They appreciated the church and its worship arts ministry so much that they established an endowment for generations to enjoy.

In Memory
“Rose was a a truly talented and gifted spirit.”
— Sandra Nowell
Onward to the next part of her journey - likely as a guiding force, as she was here. Such a purely authentic, genuine, giving person is a rarity. She graced all of the lives she touched. Peace and healing thoughts to those who remain behind. She was surely well loved.
— Susan Nickerson
“For all my years in Roswell, the house on the corner of Mimosa was one of my favorite stops. George taught me how to travel without missing a thing and I think he traveled life's road the same way..”
— Janet Russell
My memories of Rose Polatty are of a loving, giving mother, involved in the lives of all young people...parades, school activities, etc. May she rest in peace.

“Uncle George was an example for all of us. He was very thoughtful and always remembered our daughters during Christmastime. He was indeed an extraordinary man who experienced life to the fullest.”
