Rosemary worked in retail for most of her life. She loved to dance and recently attended two weddings, her great niece, Paige, and a year ago she attended the wedding of her great nephew Lucas. She was queen of the dance floor. She had a wonderful time. She always looked forward to going weekly to see her friends at the hair salon and playing bingo. She enjoyed the casinos too. She also enjoyed going to Boyne City, Michigan on the weekends to listen to her favorite bands during the "Strolling the Streets" event on Friday night.

Rosemary will be greatly missed by her family and friends. We love her very much!

Celebration of Life plans will be announced at a later date.
