Meet Rose Patton-James. A veteran of the U.S. Army, Rose graduated from Jackson State University with a major in criminal justice. [Class of 1986]
Being a self-proclaimed sports addict, she is a joint owner of a semi-pro football team here in Pensacola. Rose loves spending time with the kids in her family, going on vacation, and attending the kids’ events.
Joining the staff at the YMCA helped her get out of a dark place. Now she tries to help everyone who comes through those doors.
