Roslyn Cook, a cherished mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on February 23, 2026, in Taylor, Alabama, at the age of 79. Born on January 1, 1947, in Perry, Florida, Roslyn was the beloved daughter of the late Leroy Roberts and Christine Parker Roberts. She was the youngest sibling in a family of eight, and she is preceded in death by her three brothers and four sisters.
Roslyn’s life was a testament to her enduring love for her family and her insatiable appetite for knowledge. She was a voracious reader and found great joy in the world of books, often immersing herself in mystery novels and listening to audiobooks when her eyes needed a rest. Her passion for solving puzzles extended beyond the pages of her favorite whodunits, as she was also an avid fan of word puzzles, which kept her mind sharp and her wit quick.
Her greatest pride and joy were her daughters, Sharon Brown and Sheryl Ellison, who, along with Sheryl’s husband Michael, provided her with endless love and support. Roslyn’s role as a grandmother was one she cherished deeply, and she leaves behind a legacy of love and wisdom in her grandchildren, Adam Collins, Jonathan Brown, and his wife MeaKenzie, and Jasmine Senn, and her husband Mikhael. The memories created during the time spent with her children and grandchildren were the highlights of her life, and she often recounted stories of their adventures and achievements with a beaming smile and immense pride.
Roslyn’s presence was a comforting and steady force in the lives of those who knew her. Her gentle guidance, unwavering support, and unconditional love were the cornerstones upon which her family built their lives. She was a woman of quiet strength, facing life’s challenges with grace and resilience, and teaching those around her the value of perseverance and kindness.

EWELL COMMUNITY…Mrs. Monique Humphrey, a resident of the Ewell Community, near Ozark, died early Wednesday morning, February 25, 2026, at her home. She was 71.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 P.M. Sunday, March 1, 2026, in the Fuqua Bankston Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Matt Sasser officiating. The family will receive friends from 1:00 until 2:00 P.M. Sunday at the funeral home. Fuqua Bankston Funeral Home of Ozark is in charge of arrangements.
Mrs. Humphrey, daughter of the late Hans Halfpapp and Christine Brocks Halfpapp, was a native of Germany, where her strong work ethic, love for people, and quiet resilience first took root. Throughout her life, she carried those qualities with her, no matter where she lived. As the devoted wife of a United States Air Force serviceman, she moved from place to place, building a home wherever her husband’s career took them. She embraced each new community with an open heart, making friends easily and treating everyone she met with kindness.
After her husband retired from the military, they stayed in Germany for several years. While in Germany, she had a daycare in her home, where she loved and cared for numerous children as if they were her own. She and her husband eventually moved to Warner Robins, Georgia, in 1998. It was there that she poured her passion for cooking and hospitality into something truly special — Monique’s German Restaurant. She owned and operated the restaurant with pride, sharing the flavors of her home country with others. For many people in the community, her dishes were more than meals; they were memories, comfort, and a reminder of her generous spirit. She loved serving others, and it showed in every plate she prepared and every conversation she shared across the counter.
In 2024, she made her home in the Ewell Community, where she quickly became known for her vibrant personality and her willingness to help anyone who needed it. She enjoyed the simple pleasures of life — fishing at the Wochenendhaus in Santee, South Carolina, playing cards with friends, and browsing the shops. She had a natural way of making people feel safe, cared for, and welcomed.
One of the things that always made people smile was her love for Corvettes. Even while living in Germany, where BMWs and Mercedes were everywhere, she proudly chose Corvettes. They were her favorite, and she enjoyed them with a sense of fun and confidence that matched her personality.
Above all, Mrs. Humphrey will be remembered for her servant’s heart. She was the kind of person who took care of others without hesitation — offering a meal, a helping hand, or simply a listening ear. Her life was marked by generosity, love, and a deep desire to make the world around her a little brighter. In a Facebook post by her niece- “She was at her happiest when her house was filled with family and friends. She cherished spoiling anybody that had the fortune to be invited into her home. I always called her the hostess with the mostess; nobody left her house unless they were sufficiently fed and cared for. In typical German fashion, she was bossy, fierce, loyal, stubborn, tough as nails, honest to a fault, had a wicked sense of humor and you never knew when you would become a victim to one of her crazy pranks.”
Surviving relatives include her husband of forty-seven years, Donald Humphrey (TSgt., United States Air Force, Retired); daughter, Nicole McKenzie (Stan), all of Ewell; son, Pascal Humphrey (SPC, United States Army, Retired), Warner Robins, Georgia; grandchildren, Celina, Jaden, Lucas, Kaelyn, Lilly, and Cassie; four sisters, one brother, nieces, nephews, including nephew, David Halfpapp and niece, Halina (Art).
