Rosemary is survived by her children Kristy (Jeff) Fiscella, Lisa (Joe) Krstulic, Jim (Maria) Fiscella, and Doug (Ginny) Fiscella; seven grandchildren Emily and Abby Krstulic, Jessica Heil (Josh), Jon (Kelly), Jake, Caroline and Molly Fiscella; and two great-grandchildren Henry (Jessica) and Sophia (Jon) and her niece Lori Adams.
Rosemary is a graduate of Bloomsburg State Teacher’s College and later earned her Master’s in Education from the University of Kansas. She spent a long career as an elementary teacher and retired from Stanley Elementary where she proudly taught children not only how to read and write, but also to be the best version of themselves.
She met the love of her life Bob while working summers on the Jersey Shore. They would wait tables and enjoy the beach on their summer vacations from college. Rosemary and Bob were married in 1956 and enjoyed 62 years together before Bob’s passing in 2018. She enjoyed playing golf at Leawood South Country Club and traveling with Bob during their retired years. Nothing gave her greater joy than to spend precious time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren who always knew the fridge at Mimi’s house would be stocked with mandarin oranges and SpaghettiOs.
The cares of the world concern me no longer
I have completed this life, my work is done,
My family is happy and healthy in their pursuits,
I have loved much and well
To those I leave behind,
I hope I will remain in their hearts as they will in mine,
Thank you for taking such good care of me
And all of you who have been my friends thank you for teaching me about life and love.
Message from Rosemary: “Best of all is you, my family. I wish, for you, a wonderful life with your families. Know that I loved you all and you were my happiness.”
