Rosemarie Barbara Weast

In her early years, she graduated early from high school, demonstrating her commitment to education and learning. Rosemarie was the first American woman to sign up for the United States Woman's Army Corp in all of Europe, a testament to her adventurous spirit and dedication. She later returned to the United States for Basic Training and worked for the U.S. Embassy in Berlin, Germany, where her career flourished.

Rosemarie's personal life was filled with love and family. She was first married to Raymond Eugene Sampier and was widowed at a young age, raising three small children. She found love again with Kenneth Richard Weast, with whom she expanded her family by two more children. They shared 21 years of marriage until his passing, after which she never remarried. Together, they made Henderson, Nevada, their home.

Rosemarie enjoyed sewing, road trips in her motor home, playing the Hand and Foot card game, and hosting family gatherings. Her kind-hearted and generous nature was evident in her love for family get-togethers.

Her legacy is one of generosity, kindness, and directness. Rosemarie is survived by her four children: Sharron (Bart) Black, Kenny (Amy) Weast Jr., Raymond (Lee) Sampier Jr., and Theresa Reber; eight grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren; and her siblings, Robert (Kathy) Johnson and Chesley Johnson. She was preceded in death by her husbands, Raymond Sampier and Kenneth Weast, her daughter Barbara Sampier, and her brother, Father Carl Johnson.

In her village, Rosemarie's giving nature was cherished by all. Her final words, "You be safe out there among the English," reflect her caring and protective spirit.
