She proved her commitment to service through her extensive career as a Registered Nurse, where her compassion touched the lives of countless individuals for over three decades.
Rosemary's exuberant nature was apparent in her love for family gatherings, which she often infused with the same warmth and care that marked her professional life. Her adventurous spirit led her on many hikes and skiing trips, embracing the beauty of nature that she so loved.
