1928 - 2023 (Age 94)
Rosemary Beckman, age 94, entered this world on Sept. 21, 1928, as the eldest child of Wilma (1904-1989) and Fred Benigni (1893-1976). She left it on March 2, 2023, a few years short of a full-century, but the years were filled with a life well-lived. A quietly brilliant woman, she married her...
Read MoreRosemary and I taught together and then kept up our friendship for over 40 years. She was a wonderful colleague, and an amazing friend.

Her legacy will live on through them, her many students and her colleagues. I'll be praying for her and her family.

I was sad to see the obit for Rosemary. We met as ESL volunteers through an Oakton Community College program. We were tutoring adults at their worksite in Glenview. This was in the mid 90´s. You are right- we bonded over nurturing the students and talking about the books we read! She was a gem!
