Rosemary was born in Alma, Michigan on October 28, 1949. She spent many years serving others in healthcare. She moved to Hinsdale, Illinois when she was 18, where she began her career working at Hinsdale Hospital. She later worked at Woodstock Hospital for many years.
In 1970, she married Robert Kummerow, with whom she raised a family of three daughters. Although they divorced in 2001, they remained close friends.
She was a faithful servant of God. She loved leading worship at her church and volunteering. When she wasn't at church, she enjoyed spending time with her friends and family.
Rosemary was preceded in death by her parents, Clyde "Dave" LaVoy, 2000 and Lois Arlene LaVoy, 2019? her siblings Benjamin LaVoy, 1957, Clyde "Dave" LaVoy Jr. 1982, and Debra LaVoy 2009.
Rosemary is survived by her daughters, Sherry (Joseph) Shedbalkar, Maryann Sickels, and Christina (Andy) Ganzer; her sister, Rebecca (Dan) Zmich; 9 grandchildren; and 1 great-grandchild.
Rosemary will be remembered for the love she had of her family; she felt blessed to have each of us in her life and wants us to love and care for one another. Rosemary also had a strong faith, and it was her hope that all of her friends and family would know Jesus as their Lord and Savior so that we can all be in Heaven together.
A service will be at 3 p.m. July 13 at Cary-Grove Adventist Fellowship, 400 Lincoln Ave, Fox River Grove, Illinois. Dinner to follow service. If you are so inclined, wear some purple. It was Rosemary's favorite color.
