Rose Mary Briscoe, 58, Lexington Park, MD, passed away peacefully at her home on August 30, 2012 after a long and hard fought battle with cancer. A lifetime resident of St. Mary's County, Rose was born November 5, 1953 in Leonardtown, Maryland to George and Martha Briscoe.

She attended St. Peter Claver Catholic School, Park Hall Elementary School, George Washington Carver School, and graduated from Great Mills High School in 1972. Rose worked for almost 40 years as a Disbursing Agent at the Naval Air Warfare Center, Patuxent River, Maryland. She also held an evening/weekend part-time job with P&P Brothers for many years. After many 5 a.m. arrivals, Rose decided to retire from the Federal Government on January 31, 2012. During her career Rose received numerous awards for her dedicated service to the Department of Navy and developed a work family that she loved (and who loved her) immensely.

Rose is survived by the light of her life, her loving son Eric Devon King (Waldorf, MD) and her special "selected" daughter and grand-daughter, Beverly Bolt and Marissa Maddox. Rose just became a great-grandmother to baby Chase McClure. Rose is also survived by her siblings, Dorothy Wiggins, Greensboro, NC, Barbara Berry, Clinton, MD, Lorraine Williams (Billy), Park Hall, MD, Connie Baldwin, Jacksonville, NC, Larry Briscoe (Ann), Jacksonville, NC, Brenda Briscoe, Park Hall, MD, Raymond Briscoe (Angie), Havelock, NC, and a loving sister-in-law Helen Briscoe. She leaves a host of nieces and nephews; aunts, uncles and cousins; and friends and colleagues. She is also survived by her friend, Tony Evans.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her older brother George Briscoe, Jr.

The family will receive family and friends Friday, September 7 from 10 am until Mass of Christian Burial at 11 am at St. Peter Claver Church, 16922 St. Peter Claver Road, St. Inigoes, MD. Interment will take place at St. Peter Claver Church Cemetery. Reverend Scott Woods will officiate.
