Rosa Mae Green Mansour Matthews, age 90, passed away peacefully in the presence of her beloved daughters on Saturday, February 28th, 2026.
Rosa was born on February 10th, 1936, in Locust Grove, Georgia to the late Leonard and Ruby Green. She graduated top of her class from Cass High in 1954. Much of her career was spent working in administrative support for US Rubber Co, BP Oil, Sinclair Oil, and Equifax.
Rosa was known for her abundant hospitality and humorous, kind-hearted nature. She enjoyed cooking, gardening, and traveling. Rosa was active at North Druid Hills Christian Church in Atlanta, Kingston Baptist, and North Pointe Church in Adairsville, GA. She also cherished serving her community in the Kingston Women’s History Club, the Adairsville Community Garden, and the Adairsville-Bartow Chamber of Commerce.
Rosa was preceded in death by her first husband, John Mansour, whom she married in 1965 and who passed away in 2008. She later married Edwin “Eddie” Matthews in 2009, who preceded her in death in 2020.
In addition to her husbands and parents, Rosa was preceded in death by her sister Becky Hunter, brothers Olin, Harbin, and Byron Green, and daughter-in-law Renee Mansour.
She will be forever loved and remembered by her daughters, Judy Henderson (Gene) and Rosie Mansour (Dr. Ken Arthur); her step-son, Johnny Mansour; her grandchildren, Amy Ellis (David), Brent Mansour (Shai), Sydney Arthur and Austin Mansour (Savannah); her great granddaughters, Eleanor and Atalie Mansour; her siblings, Martha Timms, June Satterwhite, Bobby Green, Nina Samples-Stanley, and Elsie Healy (Joe), and many beloved relatives, neighbors, and friends.
Please help us celebrate Rosa’s life, and new eternal life, together from 1:00-2:00pm Saturday, March 14th, 2026 at R. Dudley Barton & Son Funeral Home in Adairsville, GA. A service will follow at 2:00pm with Pastor Jim Pinkard officiating. Interment will take place at Oaknoll Memorial Gardens in Rome, GA at a later date.
We would like to extend our warmest gratitude to the Amedisys Hospice team who provided our beloved mother and Gran with care and respect during her final months.
Rosa will be remembered for the way she provided everyone she met with a warm smile, an easy laugh, and delicious victuals.
