Rosemary was a faithful fan of the Hallmark and Lifetime Channels, she especially loved watching Christmas movies and adored happy endings. A true Saints fan, she celebrated with each and every win and still cheered during the losses. Rosemary enjoyed playing the games, Bourré and Canasta. A past employee of Dale's Florist, she made beautiful flower arrangements for our parish. Rosemary also once worked for South Central Bell and several other telecommunication companies. A pro at party planning, Rosemary also liked planning her school reunions. Rosemary was definitely a unique individual who was loved by many.
