Roslyn Rothrock

Mrs. Roslyn Sue Arthur Peeler Rothrock, 83, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, September 30, 2022. She was born December 23, 1938 to the late Theodore Eugene Arthur and Louise Lemons Arthur. After graduating from Troy High School in 1957, Roslyn earned a teaching degree at Appalachian State University. While doing her student teaching, she met and married Thomas Peeler. The couple had two children and were married for almost 37 years before his death in 2001. She proudly taught first grade in Forsyth County Schools for 30 years. A faithful member of Olivet Moravian Church for more than 40 years, she served as a diener, elder, and was active in the ladies’ circle group. Roslyn helped with many events including the Moravian chicken pie sales, barbecue fundraisers, and bazaars. In 2003, she married Terry Rothrock, a fellow member of Olivet. They were married for thirteen years before his death in 2016. She enjoyed cross stitching, playing bridge, and going to the beach. A people person, she was always ready to go out to eat or on a trip with her friends. Roslyn was a devoted wife and dearly loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Although we will miss her quick smiles and warm laughter, we have the peace of knowing that she is now with her Heavenly Father and that we will see her again one day. In addition to her parents, Roslyn is preceded in death by her first husband, Thomas Lee Peeler; second husband, Terry Rothrock; and brother, Wayman “Buddy” Arthur. She is survived by her two children, Jill Peeler Dillon (Johnnie) and Bradley Thomas Peeler; three grandchildren, Zachary Dillon (Lauren), Sarah Dillon Diaz (Blake), and Amy Dillon; and two great-grandchildren, Caroline Dillon and Rosalyn Dillon. A graveside service will be conducted 2:00 PM Friday, October 7, 2022 at Olivet Moravian Church Graveyard with Rev. Matthew Allen officiating. The family will receive friends immediately following the service in the church fellowship hall. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Olivet Moravian Church, 2205 Olivet Church Rd., Winston-Salem, NC 27106. Online condolences may be made at www.hayworth-miller.com
