Rosemary lived a full life in her roles as great- grandmother, grandmother, mother, wife, and friend. She really enjoyed cooking big Italian dinners and celebrating the holidays with her family. She loved listening to music and dancing, shopping, she loved watching K.C. Chiefs football games, and she loved watching old cowboy movies. Most of all she loved being with family.
