Ms. Roselyn Ellen Brock

In Loving Memory Of: Roselyn was born in 1951 the fourth of five children to Thomas J. and Catherine Brock. Her father, mother and three brothers preceded Roselyn in death. Born June 1, 1951 at 9:08 am. The celebration for each birthday would begin every year at 9:08; it was a funny sweet quirk of hers. Roselyn attended Makenzie High School, where she played basketball on the schools team, as well as many other sports, graduating in 1969. She went on to Howard University to study political science, law, and history leaving with a Bachelors degree. In 1973, she began her career as a social worker with the Hamtramck Department of Social Services. After leaving the Dept. of SS she went on to teach history in adult education at Wayne State University. Still looking for the career that suited her, Roselyn joined the Detroit Police Department. Immediately following police academy training and graduation, the Department of The Drug Enforcement Agency (D.E.A.) approached her to begin her career as an undercover officer for the Narcotics Unit. Roselyn spent four years undercover with the D.E.A. She continued to serve the people as a Detroit Police Officer for years thereafter. In 1983, Roselyn made yet another career move to join the Wayne County Sheriff's Department. Wayne County Sheriff's department suited her. Her position was physical, mental and very satisfying. She worked her way up the ranks to Sergeant; this being the position where Roselyn had found her career comfort zone. Over the years working the jails, the courts and supervising many officers, Sergeant Brock became known as honest and fair, calm, direct, understanding, diplomatic and in charge. Sergeant Brock was respectfully unbiased in the treatment of those she commanded. Over the years her status became well known. She was loved and respected by the many ranks in the Wayne County Sheriffs department. She was a great listener and problem solver; Sergeant Brock was loved by all who worked with her. After 25 years of service with Wayne County, she retired in 2008. Roselyn also had a keen interest in electronics, politics and sports. She was in bowling leagues with coworkers and was awarded many trophies during her bowling years. Roselyn Brock and Sherri Grant began their life's journey together on February 14, 1996. They lived together in love and harmony for nearly 25 years. Roselyn will be truly missed.
