Rosemary Roe Obituary

Rosemary Buono Roe, 73, of The Woodlands, Texas

Rosemary Buono Roe, well-known community leader and activist, passed away peacefully to be with the Lord on August 1, 2015 at Memorial Hermann Hospital in The Woodlands. She was surrounded by her family and friends.

She was born Rosemary Agnes Kolaci, October 2, 1941, in Hackensack, New Jersey, the child of Rudolph and Anastazie Berna Kolaci, immigrants from Czechoslovakia. Her parents instilled in her a deep love and pride for America, and inspired her with their desire and dedication to become citizens.

A seminal moment occurred in her life, when, at 16, Rosemary traveled to Czechoslovakia to visit relatives. That country was still in the grips of the Soviet Union and the repression and lack of freedom had devastated that country. Shocked and repelled at what she saw, she was profoundly changed by the experience. Pride, love and patriotism for America guided her from that day forward. A year later, she graduated as valedictorian from Wood-Ridge High School. She later attended Wood Business School.

Rosemary's marriage to her first husband, Carmen Buono, ended after 14 years. The couple had three children. Changing direction to her life, she moved to Houston in 1976. Discovering that the patriotism in Texas matched her own passion for her country, she realized she had found a home.

Soon after, she met Cliff Roe, whom she married in 1979. The couple moved to The Woodlands, Texas, where she resided the rest of her life.

A lifelong Republican, instilled with core conservative values by her patriotic parents, she became strongly involved with the Republican Party. She was SD 4 state Republican executive committeewoman from 2008 until her death. She served as a Republican precinct chair for 30 years; an election judge since 1984; the Montgomery County Senatorial District 4 convention secretary; Senatorial District 4 convention nominations chairman; and served on the Vacancy, Leadership & Organizations, Candidates, Finance and Outreach Committees and the advisory board. She was also the Republican National Hispanic Assembly state secretary and a delegate to the Senatorial District 4 and Republican state conventions since 1984.

Rosemary was also president of The Woodlands Area Republican Women from 1996-1998, also serving as chaplain, vice president of membership, newsletter and awards chairman. She was a member of the Montgomery County Republican Women since 2000 and served as Americanism chairman. In 1996, Rosemary attended the GOP National Convention in San Diego as delegate alternate. She was also a delegate to the National Federation of Republican Women's Convention in 1997 in New Orleans and a delegate to the Texas Federation of Republican Women's state convention.

In addition to her active political life, Rosemary was deeply involved with her community. She served both as president and vice president to Municipal Utility District 47 and also served in that same capacity on the Woodlands Joint Powers Agency board of trustees.

Her other involvements included serving as commissioner for the Montgomery County Housing Authority, a charter member of the county Right to Life organization, a member of the Texas Right to Life. She served as a judge for the Right to Life Student Oratory Contest in 2007 and 2008.

Rosemary was a director on the board of the Barbara Loper Brain Injury Foundation, a member of Texas for Equal Justice, and a Woodlands Watch Block Chairman. Additionally, she served on the county's Women's Center Advisory Board, the Champions of CASA Board and The Woodlands Governance Steering Committee.

In 1996, Rosemary received the TFRW Tribute to Women Award for Woodlands, and in 1998, she received the Woman of Distinction award from the Women's Council of Organizations. She was an active realtor since 1987, and was a member of the Association of Realtors.

A long-time member of The Woodlands Church, Rosemary was a woman of great faith. She pursued excellence in all aspects of her life, taking genuine interest in knowing each person she came in contact with. Family was extremely important to her. Despite all her public achievements, she always said that her greatest achievements were her loving husband, Cliff, for almost 36 years, her 3 children, and 4 great grandchildren. She spoke about how her granddaughter with Down syndrome, Janelle, had brought the family closer to God.

Rosemary's philosophy was simple. She believed that each of us has a responsibility to our faith, our family, and to our country. Service was her way of giving back for all the blessings she received from God and being an American. She felt it is important for all Republicans to unite and work together for a better Texas and America by fighting for conservative principles. She often quoted what Ronald Reagan once said, "With God's help America's greatest chapter is still to be written for the best is yet to come". Her family hopes that her legacy will live on through people stepping up in their community and to act and not be complacent in the events that are taking place in America and help author America's greatest chapter. She wanted to build a better future for her grandchildren and I hope you will be inspired to take part in that dream becoming a reality.

Rosemary is survived by her husband Cliff Roe, her 3 children Darin Buono; Lori King Cohn and husband Jack Cohn; and Sherry Buono, and 4 grandchildren: Kayla, Jordan, Janelle and Jesse King. She has extended family across the country including her brother Rudolph Kolaci of New Jersey, in-laws and cousins in Florida, Arizona and California and numerous friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents Rudolph and Anastazie Kolaci, aunts, cousins and numerous loving pets.

A memorial service will be on Saturday, August 22, 2015 at 11am at the Chapel of The Woodlands Church. Forest Park Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements and there will be a time to visit family on Friday, August 21, 2015 from 5-9pm. For more information contact Catherine Mayfield at 936-321-5115.

A POEM FOR ROSEMARY

Mother, there's no other
You're the only one

And all the things you have done
Since my time has begun
For your only son

I wish there was a way
But words just can not say

Nothing can ever convey
Or forever repay

All the things you have done for me
I would like the world to see
Just how much you meant to me
For all eternity

We were truly blessed by having the opportunity to be together for almost 36 years. She was my life's partner. I miss her every day. Thankfully, I look forward to the day, God willing, that we will meet again, forever.
The most important things in her life were her children, her grandchildren, her husband, the Republican Party, as well as representing the residents' and the county's interest on the boards of the WJPA, MUD 47 and the Montgomery County Housing Authority and her many uncountable friends.
She was a tough as a Texas Pecan on the outside, but her heart was as soft as a marshmallow on the inside and was always available to anyone who needed advice, 24/7. I always appreciated her honesty, moral character and opinions. I always knew where I stood with her and she was the lady who gently brought me to Christ. She believed it was her calling by God to do her best to fix politics, corruption, and couldn't abide liars. She truly had a servant's heart.
She will be missed by all, especially me.
Her devoted husband,
Cliff

Rosemary was an extraordinary person with an unprecedented commitment to her faith, family, friends, and her community. She had the utmost compassion for people and exhibited a true heart-felt care to see and help people succeed in life, particularly her children and grandchildren. As her son-in-law, she is greatly missed and it was truly an honor for me to know her in this very short time on earth.

Rosemary Roe was the best Grandmother anyone could ask for and I'm so thankful to have been blessed with her in my life. I will always cherish every moment we spent together and miss hearing her laugh. I am so unbelievably proud of everything she accomplished in her life and can only hope to achieve half of what she did. From role model to friend, Rosemary holds a special place in my heart and I look forward to the day I see her again.

Baba, we love and miss you very much. We miss your laugh and how much fun we had together. We miss you taking us out to eat like Burger King and IHOP. We miss singing "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" with all the extra sounds that were added. We miss you reading books to us and taking us to church. We miss you taking us to and from therapy and gymnastics. Janelle misses you feeding her all the time and how she would say her hands were broke so you would feed her. We miss you taking us to the park and playing with us. We miss all your encouraging words and cheering us on with every knew skill we learned. We miss your face and your smile. Family celebrations and holidays are not the same without you. But we are glad you are healthy and having a great time in heaven.

Ro, you were like a second Mother to me. I was honored to be able to play for you one last time.
It always made me happy to be your "Baby Favorite" What a great lady and Mother you were to all of us kids who drove you crazy. ;-)
See you when I get there!

Rosemary was one of the most honest and principled individuals I've ever known. Her goodness came from her faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and she lived to help those around her. Rosemary's love for her country compelled her to fight for the eternal values that are the bedrock of America. Personally, our service together as representatives from Senate District 4 to the State Republican Executive Committee was a great joy. My entire family also enjoyed the love she shared. Our lives were made better for having known her. She will be missed greatly, but never forgotten.

Rosemary Roe was a warrior for good. She was friendly, warm, tough, fair-minded, hilarious, and I was always joyful to see her whenever our paths crossed. We had such good discussions. I have huge respect for Rosemary, her faith, patriotism, and work ethic, and am so thankful for the quality of person she was. She made our community better. What a great lady!

Rosemary Roe aka Baba. Rosemary was an amazing woman. She loved the Lord, she loved her family & friends, and she loved her country and community. But to me Rosemary was a friend. I loved her and so did My daughter Abby. Rosemary was the one who calmed me down when I found out Abby had to have brain surgery. She was so positive and comforting. Rosemary always spoke to me and always showed GREAT interest in me and my life As well as my kids and their lives. I've laughed with Rosemary, I've cried with her, and we have even had some heated discussions. But most of all I love Rosemary Roe. I will miss her so much. One thing I can say about Rosemary is that when she entered the Pearly gate's of Heaven, I have NO DOUBT in my mind the Lord told her, "Well done good and faithful servant, Well done." Baba Rosemary fly high with the angels until we meet again.

Rosemary Roe, better known to me as Baba Rosemary, was the best grandmother and I am so incredibly blessed to have gotten to experience her love day in and day out. She always, and I mean ALWAYS, told me how proud of me she was, how beautiful I am, and that she was praying for me everyday that I would make better decisions than she did at my age. She graced me with all of her life stories, which believe me, were the farthest thing from dull. Every Christmas I looked forward to receiving a Hallmark Ornament from her, because each year she gave me one that perfectly described me and all of my interests. I also always looked forward to Thanksgiving, when Baba would have all of us read Bible Verses before we ate our feast of food that she prepared for us, and every year, without fail, she cried her eyes out. I loved going Black Friday shopping with her every year, and listening to her complain about all the crazy people there. I continue to love her each and every day. My love for her will never fade. I will never meet another person like her, for as long as I shall live. I miss you Baba, and I hope you are having the time of your life up in heaven.

I first met Rosemary at a Republican Women's event in 2013 and ever since then I greatly enjoyed chatting with her about people and politics. She mastered the art of being direct, charming, and amusing. It was an honor to know her and she will be missed in our community.

Rosemary was a joy to be around when she would come to The Woodlands Joint Powers office she would first always tell me how nice I looked. Then she would always say I'm fighting for you all. as an employee that alwas made me feel like we had someone in our corner and she truely was. And for that she will be missed.So I'm sure she is up there telling someone they look nice with treir angel wings.

Rosemary was a special friend..her love for life, and willingness to speak out for what was right and just...protecting the most innocent gifts from God is what brought our souls together...I will cherish the time we spent together...the many conversations we shared, the tears and the joy..and all that I learned from her. Peace be with the family and friends that she loved so much...Carol

August 24, 2015

It's hard to put into words how important Rosemary was in my life. She made me laugh, she made me cry and she brought more love and joy into my life than anyone else on this earth. I will miss her dearly and she was a pillar of strength to all her friends and family. She loved all her children and she always spoke so highly of all her grandchildren and everything they did made her so proud. I know the days ahead will be difficult but she would want you all to be strong, remember everything she taught you and know that she loved you with all her heart. Rest in Peace Rosemary and may your memory be eternal.

Rosemary married my brother, Carmen, when I was 16 years old and I gained a sister. We did so many things together over the years (a lot of really crazy things, too!)and we were very close. I miss you very much but I know we will be together again.

Rosemary was a great friend and godly woman. I appreciated her honesty and candor regardless of the issue. I will always think of Rosemary anytime there is a Mud election or political discussion. She was awesome and will be truly missed.

Aunt Rosemary, I will never forget that you brought me to Fellowship of the Woodlands. That was where I found God again and came back to my faith. I still have the book you gave to me when I was baptized there and how special that specific story was to you. I will forever be grateful that you helped bring me back to God and I will never forget that. I only wish I had been able to see you again before you passed away and that we had all stayed in touch. It is so easy to let life get in the way of keeping in touch with those we love, we always think there is a tomorrow until there isn't anymore. Your memory will live on in your kids and grandkids and I hope we can all make sure we do not lose touch again and remember that family is what is most important in this life, after God! Rest in peace in Heaven, until we meet again.

I have only known Rosemary for a few years and those were amazing years. I met her immediately after I received the appointment of Precinct 49 Chairman when she called on the telephone to help me in any way she could. This was a Godsend for me as I barely had any idea of what was in store for me. She mentored me through two elections as Election Judge and supported me in another one by her presence in a joint precinct election at the Fellowship Center. We have spent numerous hours on the telephone regarding County Election Committee business as well as District and State Conventions. She was a blessing to Bobbie and me involving subjects that were unrelated to politics. We will always remember her as a special friend who was always there to offer help and assistance. She will be missed immensely by the citizens of Montgomery County, The State of Texas and the United States of America.

I will always cherish the joy of meeting Rosemary at the Republican Women's groups in Montgomery County and getting to know her as she worked fervently for the Republican Party. Even though I have only known her for several years, she blessed me so greatly. She was truly one of the greatest "Patriots" I have ever known. Her deep Faith in our Lord, her community service, the joy she gave to others with that great big SMILE every time she greeted you, and her always caring nature about everyone was an inspiration to me. She was truly one of the most PATRIOTIC ,LOVING and GODLY women I have ever known. I was so blessed to know her. She was a true TREASURE. "WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT" until we meet again! Thank you for blessing my Life!

Rosemary Roe believed in me when I first got into politics. We met at party headquarters soon after I started volunteering there. When I applied to be a delegate at the 2014 convention, Rosemary stopped the meeting and complimented me before it was my time to speak. You always knew that when Rosemary said something, she meant it. Rosemary was an intricate part of the Republican Party of Montgomery County as well as Montgomery County itself. We will not be the same without her.

I would see Rosemary come to vote every election. Since I worked there I would not only see her but chat a bit with her. She never miss an election. She will be missed by her many friends and her family.

I first met Rosemary at a Republican Women club meeting. She was always full of information and positive vibe..... all the time. And then later, I decided to get more involved in Republican politics and became a Precinct Chair. I really didn't know what I was getting into... but Rosemary was there any time I had a question, with the answer!!! Went to two Senate District and TX State conventions with her and she was always so helpful to me and my hubby. I was amazed at her stamina and strong convictions on family and country. We miss her already and pray that God will comfort her family. We are all blessed because Rosemary touched our lives.

I knew Rosemary as Baba! That is what Janelle and the other grandkids called her! I first met her when Janelle got off the bus! Janelle was so excited. I also had the opportunity to be able to sit with her at events at the King's where I have always been treated like family!

I loved to talk politics with her! We agreed on most and not on others! She was very compassionate in her beliefs!

Heaven has gained a beautiful lady who will look down after those she loved!

I met Rosemary through Lori's oldest daughter, Kayla, who is my best friend, and while I didn't grow up with her as a direct family member, I've never known someone with such a genuine interest and compassion for people. She always had a listening ear, encouraging words and a radiant smile for me, as I know she had for others; I remember feeling comfortable telling her anything. She had an insurmountable amount of patience and kindness. I am absolutely blessed that her family shared her with us; thank you for being an irreplaceable light in this world, Rosmemary. You will be missed.

I did not know Rosemary Roe real well but by hearing all the stories from everyone that did know her she seemed to be a very splendid lady. She raised a wonderful lady (Lori) that I have gotten to know over the years and Lori raised Jessie Janelle Jordan And Kayla which I know consider them and Lori to be my second family. I can not thank Rosemary enough for all the memories that she shared with her family and the lessons that she taught them because eventually I was able to know them. She was and still is a beautiful lady and has a wonderful soul. I wished I met her and got to know her better.

Thank you Lori and Kayla for always being there for me, so if yall need anything to help yall please let me do the same for yall.

Rosemary was a treasure, a gift from God, and a true American Patriot. She had not only an outer beauty, but also an inner beauty that she shared with everyone she encountered. I can think of many words to describe her, including but not limited to: strong-willed, outspoken, intelligent, compassionate, patriotic, passionate, loyal, and gracious. But, the truth is there are no words that can adequately describe the wonderful lady that we knew and loved. My heartfelt prayers remain with her family and friends.

I was so saddened to hear of Rosemary's passing. She was a lovely person and went out of her way to help people! I knew her through The Woodlands Joint Powers Agency (I was the Tax A/C back then) so got to know her at Board meetings. God bless you, her family, my thoughts and prayers are with you! She will be sorely missed!

Rosemary was our realtor for selling and buying a home in 1992. She was such a hardworking person who shared with us her love for her family and for her country. Her enthusiasm and energy were so impressive. I will miss her annual Christmas card as even after all these years, she still made a point to keep in touch with old clients. That says volumes for who she was. My sincere condolences to your family.

August 14, 2015

Mom, I miss your face. I miss your hugs and kisses. I miss calling you 10 times a day. I hate getting in my car...because I want to then call you, but I can't. I miss you listening to me tell you about all the cute things that the kids are doing. I miss you listening to me rant about how many incompetent people I run into on a daily basis. I miss your words of advice and the free therapy that you provided. I miss seeing you with the kids and laughing with them. I miss you feeding Janelle....despite the fact that I told you not to all the time. I miss your laugh. I miss your tears and how you would cry at everything, especially if it was a sentimental and touching moment with me or the kids. I miss how you would pray with me over the littlest of things....and even the big ones. I miss how annoying you could be and how you would tell me how to do things better according to you. I miss all your stories. I will miss you not telling me how to vote come election time. I will miss your family traditions at family get togethers. I will miss all your help with the kids and all the love you gave to our family unconditionally and faithfully all these years. I simply miss you....and I love you the MOST! Your daughter, Lori xoxo infinity

Aloha Kakou. I am Aunt Rosemary's niece through her marriage to my father's brother, Uncle Carmen. Since our families moved away from NJ to Hawaii and Texas respectively, it has been too many years since we've seen each other. My fondest memories of Aunt Rosemary are of her being a beautiful blonde full of energy and life. The Buono clan would frequently gather at Grandmas house where all sorts of fun and mayhem would take place. I remember also visiting Aunt Rosemary and family in their beautiful home in Moonachie NJ , eating green apples from the yard and catching lightning bugs at nite w cousins Darin, Lori and Sherry. You might also run into a ferret or two in the house but that was nothing unusual! In reading others comments, I know Aunt Rosemary's energy never waned and she continued to make a difference in this world. I send my Love and Aloha to the Buono and Roe families. Aloha a hui hou. Until we meet again Aunt Rosemary.

Who can forget meetiing such a pillar of patriotism, certainly not me. Rosemary loved the Republican Party almost as much as she loved her family. Rosemary gave so much to Montgomery County, the Republican Party and to her family and friends. It will take many to take on the jobs she covered for so long. God Bless you Rosemary, you will forever live on through the lives you touched.

I met Rosemary in late 50's. Was at her wedding to first husband Carmen Buono., who was my husband's cousin. They had three beautiful children. Darin, Lori and Sherry. Sherry is my God child. Missed them when they moved to Texas. Rosemary and I were very close and Rosemary was a wonderful person.

Rest in Peace Rosemary

August 11, 2015

how do you begin to put into words your feelings about a woman who touched so many lives. I've known Rosemary for 25 years. Even though we didn't see each other but once in awhile she always had such a beautiful smile and was always so happy to catch up on things. There was never a starting or stopping point with her if you were her friend. It was always fun and looking toward the future with great zest! I want to thank Cliff and the family for sharing her with all of us. Indeed she was a shinning light in a very troubled world. Rest in peace my friend as my life is very rich because of you.

August 11, 2015

I met Rosemary 35 years ago and have considered her a friend through all these years. We have spared over politics and didn't always agree. In the end we agreed to disagree. We worried about our kids as they were growing up and were now talking about the grandchildren.
To Cliff and her children, grandchildren and friends my deepest condolences. Rosemary was truly a unique person and it has been an honor to know her.
