Oh my sweetest Rosemary I can’t believe you are gone.
You accepted me and my kids into your open arms the second Tiffany and I became friends. Always willing to include my kids in whatever we were doing, even though you never had to.
I’ll never forget your entrance to our home on Christmas 2018- I think it was the most epic “heeeeyyyy everyone” welcome ever.
You will be oh so very missed this Christmas and every other day. I promise to keep an eye on Tiffany for you. She will never be with out an ear to listen and arms for hugs!

Mike and family,
I was saddened to learn of Rosemary’s sudden passing. She as a longtime friend of mine–being neighbors on Glen street many years ago. Through the years, we kept each other informed of the births of children and grandchildren and travels in retirement. I know she faced health challenges in her life and she was so brave through it all. I had been praying for her during her latest battle and had hoped she could overcome it–but it wasn’t to be. She was a dear friend and I will miss her laugh and catching up with her. However, I have many happy memories of times spent together that will bring a smile as I think of her. My deepest sympathies to you all, and you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. RIP my dear friend.
To: Anne, Dan, John, Julie, and Carol,
I send you my sympathies as well, and want you to know that I have happy memories of being at the Schlueter home as a young girl. I remember yummy bakery treats that your mom and dad brought home from the bakery and going to Anne and Dave’s wedding dance. It was the first wedding dance I remember going to, and it was fun! So many years ago. For most of our lives, Rosemary and I lived miles apart, but we stayed connected and enjoyed the times we were able to get together. I will miss those times, and I know she will be very missed by many. My deepest sympathies to you all as well.

Rosemary and family were good friends of mine in Baytown Texas. Just saw she has passed. I send my deepest condolences to Mike, children, and her siblings. She was a good hearted person and always had an ear to listen to her friends. It was a pleasure to call her my friend.
