Mary Lee Rose, known to many as "Amary" began to fill the pages of her life on December 24, 1927. Amary was born to James and Mary A. (Relford) Rose in Morris, OK. Amary began working at Okmulgee Memorial Hospital as a dietician. She worked for the hospital for 38 years until she retired. Amary loved her family and friends. She was always excited when you went to visit. She would keep you smiling with her stories and the way she would express her thoughts and then give a little chuckle and smile.
