Rozella Kilgore was born on Feb. 25, 1918, to Anna Ophelia (Vinyard) and Lonzo Albert Kilgore in Whorton Bend. She had four brothers and three sisters. She accepted Christ as her Savior and Lord as a young girl and served Him as her Master and King for the rest of her life.

She later married Stanley Chance and moved to Michigan, but after a few short years was once again a widow. She lived in Michigan until retirement in 1982, then returned to Gadsden where she lived at the Holy Comforter for the next 27 years. She made many, many lifelong friends.
