Rosemary Norton

Rosemary accepted Jesus into her heart at a young age and spent her whole life following and loving Jesus.

She married James Norton in December of 1947. They lived in Bisbee, Arizona the majority of their lives together. They raised two daughters there and were part of the community. Jim was a school teacher and Rosie was a registered nurse at the Copper Queen Hospital. They enjoyed many friendships through the years and were active members of San Jose Baptist Church. Their favorite pass time was camping and fishing with their grandsons. In her later years she enjoyed having family- especially her great grandchildren - at her cabin in the White Mountains of Arizona.

Rosemary was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, her parents and two of her sisters, Hazel and Bonnie.

Rosemary is survived by her daughters- Joan of Dallas and Deb of Albuquerque, as well as her youngest sister, Dixie.

She had two grandsons, Jason and Nathan, three great grandchildren -Katy, Jaymeson, and Jonathan and two step great grandchildren- Troi and Sean.

Rosemary will be remembered for her warm heart, her unwavering strength and her love for each of us.

Her entire family wants to thank Norway Sage Oak group home and Enhabit Hospice for their compassion, care, and dedication to help those in need.

In lieu of flowers please make donations to Enhabit Hospice or Samaritans Purse.

Viewing will be on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 at Sparkman Hillcrest Funeral Home.

As per Rosemary’s wishes the family will scatter her ashes at a future date.
