My favorite memory of Rosemary was the time we spent in Florida with her and her family over Easter Break. She was charismatic, warm and friendly. But her greatest legacy are the 6 sons she raised to be gentlemen in the highest degree. I remember the tribute they paid her on her birthday down in the Brasskin...What a wonderful Mom and wife. We could all take a page out of her book on grace and elegance. Our condolences to the family and close friends for the loss of one so kind.
With Sympathy,
Cassie and Bruno Hillinger-Vanoudenhove

I will remember Rosemary on the Old Willow tennis courts followed by spirits on the deck. What fun times multiple generations shared playing tennis then celebrating in a carefree family-friendly setting.
Cheers,
Kristen Poggensee
