Rosemary was a graduate of Mooresville High School and worked until retirement for Green Hills Telephone Company. She was an active member of the Mooresville Christian Church.

Her family and blended family brought her great joy, and she considered herself blessed to have them all in her life.
Rosemary will be remembered for her loving concern for others, her poise, her grace and positive spirit.
