Mrs. Roman was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. Walter and Earline Roman were married in 1950 and spent their first years together in Starkville, and the remainder of their lives in Greenville. She was a faithful servant of the Lord at the First Presbyterian Church, where she was very much loved by her church community. She never met a stranger and had a great sense of humor. “Mamaw”, as she was affectionately known by her grandchildren, was a homemaker and lovingly doted on her family and grandchildren. In her later years, Mrs. Roman worked at Lina’s Fine Interiors and the First Presbyterian Church daycare. She was an active member in the Greenville Garden Club and the Junior Auxiliary.
