The depth and breadth of the love between Rosemary and her husband Brooks was an inspiration to many that witnessed the obvious joy that they shared with each other during their 34 years together including 27 years of marriage. Rosemary’s strength and direction led to the growth and success of her three beautiful children: Brooks Jr, Kari, and Sean. Rosemary was avid in her dedication to exercise and developed a strong set of relationships through her daily workout routines. She worked for the Blazer swim team where she displayed energy, commitment, and passion for her efforts and for the success of the Blazer program. And Rosemary cultivated a rich set of friendships in all that she did and where ever she visited.
Rosemary leaves behind a wide array of friends and lives that she has touched in many different places. She carried herself with poise, happiness, energy, and love for the people around her. She will be deeply missed.
