Rosemary, a graduate of Burton High School, Class of 1951, enjoyed a wonderful life of building her home and family in Russell Township.
She and Richard then took the next stage of their life with 35 years of retirement, spending time between Lake Erie Islands and Largo, Fla.
She filled her life with the enjoyment of taking care of her husband, homemaking, volunteering at the hospital. She dreamed of being a ballerina in her early years, but later found a passion for line dancing and even taught classes. She loved being out with her lady friends for lunches, was an avid reader and could read a book in a day.
Rosemary loved all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her faith brought her to a love for her church.
Pallbearers were son-in-laws, Joseph Schaab and Charles E. Castle; grandsons Joshua Schaab, Richard Clark, Charles J. Castle; and grandson-in-law, Jonathan Osborne.
