Rosemarie was a loving and compassionate person who enjoyed cooking and baking, taking care of her family, attending her grandchildren’s functions, and shopping. She loved time with her husband watching the birds, taking walks in the garden, and traveling. She cherished traveling to Holland with her husband and grandchildren, and taking yearly trips to Cape May with her family, where she could be found with a book in hand by the lighthouse. Following her retirement, she volunteered at Valley View and St. Johns Church on Bingo night. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her but will live on in our hearts.
