Receiving the check is Bill Dabney, Manager of Integrated Marketing Communications at Ole Miss, and Anna Langley, Vice-President and Corporate Secretary at Ole Miss.

Mrs. Rosenbush, presently a resident of Marengo Nursing Home in Linden, Alabama, received her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Education from the University of Mississippi, where she was a member of the Gamma Delta Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha.

Upon her marriage to Bert Rosenbush, Jr. in 1971, Mary Louise moved to Demopolis and, along with her husband, was a very active member of the Community. Both Mary Louise and Bert have been recognized for their generosity for many years.
