Rosemary SHEETS

Rosemary Sheets, daughter of Marion and Jessie (Kinkade) Dinwiddie, was born June 6, 1948, in Webster County, Missouri and departed this life on November 26, 2025, in Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of seventy-seven years.

Rosemary attended and graduated from Conway High School. She made friends easily and treasured each friendship.

On June 27, 1969, Rosemary was united in marriage with the love of her life, John Sheets. To this union was born three sons, "Little" John, Stanley and Wayne. John and Rosemary weathered life's storms and celebrated life's blessings, side by side.

Rosemary was a devoted homemaker and meticulous house keeper. Keeping a clean and tidy home was one of her top priorities. However, she did work outside her home in various occupations over the years. She was a wonderful cook and used that talent to open a restaurant in Competition , Missouri, which she successfully owned and operated for a few years.

Rosemary did not sit idle. She taught dance classes, played volleyball and was a member of a bowling league. She enjoyed sewing, quilting, crafting, reading and playing cards with friends. She also loved her soap operas and westerns. However, of all the things she loved about this life, time spent and memories made with her family is what she cherished most.

Rosemary is survived by two sons, Stanley Martin Sheets of Lebanon and Andrew Wayne Sheets and his wife Rachel of Falcon; siblings, Carl Dinwiddie of Marshfield, Loretta Jones of Grovespring and Laverne Dinwiddie of Niangua; grandchildren, Kyla Bell and her husband Lucas, Emily Schmidt and her husband Nathan, Maggie Sheets and Anna Sheets; two great-grandchildren, Ellison Schmidt and Ezra Bell; numerous nieces and nephews; other relatives and many friends.

Those preceding her in death include her parents; her husband, John; one son, "Little" John; eight siblings, Charles, Flora Bell, Freeman, Joe, Dorothy, Thelma, Betty and Ricky.

Rosemary was many things to many people. She was determined, independent and decisive. She loved others completely and unconditionally. Her family came first. She will be forever missed and eternally remembered.

Memorials have been suggested to the family to help with funeral expenses.
