Rosemary was our next-door neighbor for 22 years. She was the most trusted person in the neighborhood; all or nearly all of the people residing on Shelor Lane gave her a key to their respective homes. I loved her energy and enthusiasm. William and I send our deepest sympathy to David, Michele, Randy, and all of her grand and great-grand children.

For 17 years, Rosemary was not only my neighbor but also a guiding light and a mother figure in my life. Her kindness, wisdom, and gentle heart were gifts I will always treasure. She welcomed me with open arms, offering comfort, encouragement, and unconditional love in ways only a true mother could.
Her presence made our neighborhood feel like home, and her absence leaves a space that can never truly be filled. I will hold close the memories of our talks, her thoughtful advice, and the warmth she brought into our life.
With deep love and lasting gratitude,
Bahaa & Sue
