Rosemary loved working for many years as a Pharmacy Technician, as she so enjoyed helping people. Among Rosemary's many talents was her ability to create small arts and crafts and to give them to family and friends.

Rosemary was raised in Maspeth, NY and graduated from Grover Cleveland HS. She met Bob when they were 11 years old not knowing then they would be best friends for the rest of their lives.

She moved to The Villages in 1998. Since that time she has been a parishioner of St. Timothy Catholic Church.
