Rosalee Margaret Flirt Loupe, a native of Aransas Pass, TX and a resident of Morgan City, passed away Wednesday, February 19, 2020 at Oschner St Mary with her loving family at her bedside. She was 82 years old.

Rosalee was born to Archie and Ellen Flirt on October 30, 1937 in Aransas Pass, TX.

She grew up during the Great Depression and learned to be resilient, thrifty, compassionate, and strong. When she was 17, she married the love of her life, Francis on July 22, 1955. They moved to the bayous of Louisiana where she became the proud mother of seven babies who blessed them with grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren. It was then she received her absolute favorite title- Granny.

She loved Jesus with all of her heart and lived her life to serve Him. She was the only person we knew who could grow beautiful flowers in the cracks of cement and always enjoyed working in her yard. In 1984, she was the Queen for the Krewe of Janis. She enjoyed dancing, bowling, crocheting, puzzles, and games. She was an active member of The Sunshine Girls of Cornerstone Ministries and enjoyed their monthly lunch dates. She will be greatly missed by her family.
