Rosemary was a longtime and faithful member of St. Nicholas Catholic Church and its Christian Mothers Society. In her younger years, she volunteered countless hours at the church and school. She also enjoyed her many years of washing dishes at Mike and Donna’s business, the Leap In in Freedom. There she kept up on everything new in town.
