Rosemary enjoyed traveling, artwork, swimming, gardening, and watching game shows which she keenly and quickly got the answers to. Her home-made bread, zucchini fritters, and pudding cakes were a treat.
She was happiest surrounded by her loving families and friends, listening to old-time music and playing board games. Mom was a sweet, caring, gentle soul and matriarch who brightened our lives.
