Memorial Scholarship Fund Honors Gee Gee Rosell of Buxton Village Books
Date postedMarch 5, 2026
The Buxton Civic Association has launched its first-ever scholarship fund in memory of beloved community member (and long-time SIBA member) and bookstore owner Marjean “Gee Gee” Rosell, aiming to support Hatteras Island students as they pursue higher education. The BCA Marjean “Gee Gee” Rosell Memorial Scholarship was created by the civic association in collaboration with Rosell’s siblings and a group of close friends. Organizers say the scholarship reflects Rosell’s lifelong commitment to books, learning, and the Hatteras Island community.
Rosell died on January 29, 2026 after a brief illness.
