For several years, Rosemary was one of my support staff members during the time I was the Director of the Counseling Center at Ohio University. Anyone who had the opportunity to know Rosemary will remember her for how friendly, thoughtful, and caring she was to everyone around her. To me, there was not a mean bone in her body. She was like a family member to us until the time she retired and we were all fond of her. My thoughts are with her family.

Rosemary loved her family and friends extremely and could light up a room with her laughter. Heaven will be even brighter with her there.

Rosemary was our dear neighbor on Graham Drive for many years. At the Dairy Barn, she was friends with Jan's mother as they volunteered together. We are sorry to hear of her passing. Your family is in our hearts at this sad time.
