EPPS, Rosalie Suzanne Garrett, of Richmond, died November 16, 2008 after a brief illness. Rozanne was born October 29, 1922 in Jacksonville, Florida, the eldest child of George Palmer Garrett and Rosalie Toomer Garrett of Kissimmee, Florida. Shortly after her birth, her family moved from Kissimmee to Orlando, where Rozanne attended public elementary and junior high schools before boarding schools: first, Ashley Hall in Charleston, South Carolina, and then The Kent Place School in Summit, New Jersey, from which she graduated in 1939. She matriculated at Vassar College, from which she received her B.A. degree in 1943. She was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. In 1974, she was awarded a Master of Arts from Goddard College. Following her graduation from Vassar, she worked for Naval Intelligence in the Pentagon until the conclusion of World War II, when she left the Navy to write a column for Pathfinder magazine. In 1946, she was accepted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law for the Class of 1949 as one of only three women admitted to that class. She declined the offer, however, and instead, in August, 1946, married Augustus Charles Epps of Richmond, to whom she was married for fifty-eight years until his death in 2004. In 1965, she joined the staff of the Evening College and Summer School at Richmond Professional Institute (now Virginia Commonwealth University), of which she served as Assistant Director, and then Associate Director and Assistant Dean. From 1980 until 1986, she held the position of Director, Evening, Summer and Off-Campus Studies, retiring from the post in 1986 upon her appointment by Governor Baliles to the Board of Visitors of VCU. She served two terms on the board. She was a founder and for many years a teacher of the University's Focus on Career Choice programs (originally Focus on Choice for Women), which has served as a bridge for many students, especially women, returning to the work force.
