Rosemary lived a life rooted in love, faith, and family. She loved to listen to music and dance, her favorite artist were the Temptations, Isley Brothers, Mary J. Blige, and the Ghetto Boys, amongst many more, to know her was to experience warmth, wisdom, and unconditional love and care. Her home was always open, and her heart was always full of love for her family, especially her children and grandchildren.

Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she poured into them with stories, laughter, guidance, and endless encouragement. She had a special way of making each person feel seen, valued, and deeply loved. During her pass time she enjoyed going back and forth with her son Tank, they were affectionately named “Fred and Lamont” by the family.
