I knew rosemary for a long time and loved her. I am so sorry sher from new berlin wisconsin
ROSEMARY LOVED THE LORD SO MUCH. SHE ALWAYS SHARED THIS WITH US....STARTING BACK IN 1969. HE SUSTAINED HER THROUGH A LOT THROUGH THE YEARS, BUT DECIDED TO OPEN THE PEARLY GATES AND WELCOME HER HOME. LOVE YOU, SHELLY
I had the privilege to work with Rosemary in the 1990s as her assistant principal at Bayonet Point Middle School. I was impressed by the kindness that imbued her teaching and that she never gave up on reaching a child, even the more unruly ones. She had a gentle and caring soul was very generous with her smiles and uplifting outlook.

Rosemary and I met at Epworth Free Methodist summer camp in northern Illinois about 55 years ago. She was a great friend and wonderful Christian example. I will miss her. Sharon Schulling
Rosemary and I first met in 1970 when we worked together in Godfrey, IL, at Monticello Jr. College. It was my first job after college, and her second. She took me to Milwaukee and introduced me to her Vista friends...Shelly, Lorna, Jim, and others. Vista had been an important part of her life, and I valued this time getting to know her. On one occasion in Milwaukee, we went to a night spot that was popular at the time. I saw a man standing on a chair, and I commented to Rosemary..."Wonder why that man is standing on a chair?" Rosemary said..nonchalantly.."oh, that's Lew Alcinder (now known at Kareem Abdul Jabar) and he's not standing on a chair...he's just tall." WOW...I'd never seen anyone that tall before.
Another fun memory in Illinois...at Christmas that same year, I left my car in the care of a faculty member at Monticello Jr. College, and flew home to Virginia. After Christmas, I flew into Chicago where Rosemary picked me up and took me to her house to meet her parents, and to see the town where she grew up. The next morning headed back to our workplace in Godfrey. We ran into horrible snow...so bad I was leaning my head out of the passenger window and guiding her. Finally it got so bad we decided it would be safer to stop at a motel, and God provided one just then. We checked in, and soon the electricity went out all over town. Except for a little restaurant right next door. We didn't go hungry, that's for sure. It was actually a small adventure, we met some very nice folks, and spent a lot of time just talking over coffee. The next morning we paid our bill and started out again. The snow had stopped falling, the main roads were passable, and the sun was shining. As we traveled south, we noticed less and less snow, and by the time we reached Alton and Godfrey, there was no snow at all. Rosemary and I had the distinct feeling that some folks didn't believe our story! LOL
One of Rosemary's gifts was the ability to keep up with everyone. She never let a friend drop out of sight...no matter how far apart. I appreciate how we kept old memories alive, but kept each other current with our everyday lives. She meant the world to me. My condolences to her children and grandchildren and to her brother. She loved you deeply and dearly. My condolences also to other family members, and to her beloved church family. My prayers are with all of you.
