Rosemarie was a joyous person who took pride in all of her accomplishments, her greatest being her family. She enjoyed entertaining, especially on the holidays. She had a quick wit and loved music, Irish songs were her favorite. Rosemarie cherished spending summer days at her cottage and the beaches of Cape Cod. She had a passion for traveling, cooking and was an avid reader. Every morning began with a cup of coffee and a crossword puzzle. She adored her grandchildren and was a true friend to many.
In her later years she lived at Tatnuck Park, where she was honored with the title of “Ambassador” and was the life of the party with her circle of friends. The family would like to extend a warm "thank you" to the staff and residents for all of their love and compassion.
