Rosemary enjoyed the simple things in life: family visits, special trips with her family and shopping.Taking care of her children was her priority, and she made their home a safe haven, filled with love.They looked forward to her special dishes which they still treasure and try to copy today. Her childrenrecall there was never a dull moment with their mom. Spending time with her was a continuous learning
experience – like living four seasons of the year all in one day. Some of their fondest memories are when she would pick each child up from school for special one-on-one time with her. Rosemary’s love and zeal for Jehovah moved her to dedicate her life to Him and get baptized on January 6, 2019. She was a diligent Bible student and enjoyed memorizing Scriptures. Seeing Rosemary’s joy in serving Jehovah warmed the hearts of her family and friends. Her friends describe her as sweet, hospitable and loving. She delighted in opening her home for hospitality, making sure everyone was cared for to the best of her ability.
Rosemary leaves behind a host of family and friends who loved her and cared for her during her time of need. We will miss her dearly, but look forward to the time when our tears of sadness will turn to tears of joy when reunited with her and our other loved ones in the earthly paradise as Jehovah has promised.
As Rosemary would say: “Bye for now.”
