Rosemary was born Oct 10, 1935, in Burlington, Iowa to Frederick Emmert Rowe and Nellie Florence (Purcell) Rowe.

Rosemary was a devoted wife and mother. She cherished her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was always involved in her children's lives and was often ferrying them to scouting, sporting matches, and church events.
She worked as an office administrator for Dr. Rollin Perkins in Davenport, Iowa, and was a business partner in Green Care/Turf Tenders Lawn Care Services in Enterprise, Alabama.
Rosemary had many interests. She was a member of the Red Hat Society, she was an active member of the Army Officers Wives Club, she loved to play bridge and canasta, and to do puzzles. She and Henry loved to spend time traveling in their motor home, especially to follow genealogy leads all around the country, and she passed the time by knitting and crocheting.
Rosemary is survived by her children Rebecca (Mark) Dawson, Stephen (Janice) Luchner, Michael (Daynee) Luchner, Timothy (Lori) Luchner, Thomas (Suzy) Luchner, Mary (Blaine) Wagner, Matt (Annette) Luchner; her sister Sharon Green; twenty grandchildren and thirty-six great-grandchildren.
