It was a pleasure to know Rosemary. She was an amazing woman who I enjoyed talking with about her family and mine. She had a beautiful smile and positive outlook. I work at WLV in therapy and I have known her since she moved into WLV. She will truly be missed by all who knew her. I am sending my thoughts and prayers for comfort to your family during this time.

An angel has graduated to heaven as Rosemary Dempsey has passed from this earth. She had the most pleasant and loving aura about her. So sorry for your loss, Dempsey family.

Amongst all the wild children we were, Mrs. Dempsey always smiled and remained loving. I love her spirit and all the Dempsey clan. I loved the times at the Medina farm as well as jumping on the beds on Narragansett. So much laughter with all of you! Thanks to Mrs. Dempsey for giving us a wonderful childhood. With love, Mary Geiger
