Rosemary was a memorable friend and classmate. She was always kind, smart and friendly. Being invited to her home made happy memories for me. Her passing is much too soon and saddens me.

Rosemary was our H.S. class's Valedictorian. She was very intelligent and a good friend. I remember being invited to her parent's house for a pool party and a surprise birthday party. It's hard to comprehend she is gone! She will be missed. RIP 🌹 RosemaryBill Morgan
