At the age of 16, when I first got involved in Republican politics in East Knox County. I immediately found out that the go to Republican in the Skaggston Community (East Knox Elementary School) was Mrs. Rosa Webster and she would get her boys George and Tim if she could not do it.
In today’s Knox News Sentinel her obituary was published. My thoughts and prayers to George, Tim and the rest of Mrs. Rosa’s family. She was a GREAT Republican that was reliable, responsible and if Mrs. Rosa committed, she was all in.
