Sept. 28, 1933 - Sept. 6, 2016 / March 5, 1936 - Sept. 7, 2016 Marcine "Mike" Chatman, native of Whistler, AL, transitioned Tuesday, September 6, 2016, at his home. Less than 48 hours after the passing of her husband, Rosa York Chatman, slipped away quietly and peacefully to be with her "Mike" on the evening of September 7, 2016. Mike was 82 years old. Rosa, a native of Plateau, AL, was 80.

Both attended Mobile County Training School. After graduation, Marcine entered the US Army and served his country. Both Mike and Rosa received bachelor degrees from Alabama State University and returned to Mobile in 1959 to begin teaching math and science, respectively, at Mobile County Training School. Later, Mike served at Bishop State Community College, where he organized the school's first baseball team and was Director of the NYSP program. At the time of his retirement, he was Director of Career Counseling and Placement at Bishop State. Rosa spent the bulk of her career as a math teacher at Vigor High School and retired after more than 38 years of dedicated service.

They are survived by their devoted daughter Moncenya (Marcus) Chatman Dawson, MD, and their precious granddaughter, Lailah Rose Dawson of Dallas, TX. Marcine will remain in the hearts of four devoted sisters and two devoted brothers. Rosa leaves to cherish her memories two devoted sisters.
