On the morning of October 9, 2009, we lost the sweetest, giving and most loving member of our family, Rosalie Marie Lovoi, 43, of Beaumont, TX. She was the daughter of Jasper J Lovoi Jr. and Deborah Marie Kimbrough Lovoi.
She was the eldest of their 7 children and is survived by her parents and sisters Mary Lovoi Goode (Kevin) and Jenifer Lovoi Dold (Larry), and her brothers Josh Lovoi (Nicole), Jasper Lovoi Jr. III (Keisha), Justin Lovoi and Jonathan Lovoi. Grandaughter of Jasper J Lovoi Sr/Rosalie Romano Lovoi and Virgil Allen Kimbrough/Zula Mae Tully Kimbrough who preceed her in death. Niece to Aunt Jannie and Uncle Joe Lovoi of Georgetown, TX, Uncle Johnny and Aunt Paula Lovoi of Beaumont, TX, Aunt Rebecca Christi of Houston, TX, Great Aunt Katherine Wigington of Bryan, TX, and countless loving cousins.
Aunt RoRo loved taking care of all of her nieces and nephews: Keegan, Kendall, Dominic, Riley, Morgan, Juliana, Hines, Anna and Lorelai. Her love for them was unconditional and obvious in the number of movies and outings they experienced together. In fact, she loved taking care of all of us with her fabulous french toast, pancakes, and bottomless pot of coffee. Her delicious fried shrimp will be greatly missed. Her love of all holidays and devotion to making every person's birthday something special is incomparable.
A Graduate of the 1985 class of West Brook High School, she was an avid cross country runner. Her team held the record for the school's fastest time, which was broken in just the last few years. She was a 1985 Beaumont Debutante. She was a creative artist and some of her work can be found around the city.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated 10:00 a.m. Monday, October 12, 2009, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1115 Orange Street, Beaumont. A Rosary will be recited at 6:00 p.m., Sunday, October 11, 2009, with a gathering of her family and friends to follow at Broussard’s, 1605 N. Major Drive, Beaumont.
Memorial contributions may be made in Rosalie’s memory to St. Joseph Catholic Church Building Fund, 1115 Orange Street, Beaumont, Texas 77701.
