She was a longtime active member of St. Olaf Catholic Church, including over 30 years in the church choir.

Rosemary spread sunshine wherever she went, with her cheerful smile and kind words. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Rosemary was an accomplished seamstress, an excellent cook and a beautiful writer. She loved music, card games, and conversation with friends and family. Rosemary’s giving spirit touched many with inspiration, hope, encouragement and strength.
