So very sorry to hear about her passing. She always had a vivacious personality and beautiful smile when she walked the halls at Kecoughtan! God bless and strength her family at this time. With sympathy, Elaine (Epperson) Norman, Class of '65.

I am so sorry to hear of Rosemary's death. 67 sounds too young now...as most of us are at that point. She was loved well and made a big contribution to the world and her family and friends. Janie Woods Alexander in Atlanta GA

I too, am sorry to hear of another classsmate from Kecoughtan class of 1965 passing.. I did not know Rosemary that well , when we went to school there, but I am sure she was very dear and precious to all that knew her . I hope God gives her family, the strength they will need in times like this, and pray God welcomes her home into His Kingdom.

Rosemary was always surprising me with her sense of humor and her wonderful personality. She was so much more outgoing that I was. I remember her dear Dad fixing us breakfast on a Saturday morning and I was almost too shy to eat! I can just imagine what a wonderful mother, wife and teacher she was. God Bless your Rosemary!

I just realized Rosemary passed away, and am so sorry. Rosemary and I knew each other as children at St. Mary's. Our moms spent an entire summer carpooling us to Algebra tutoring. Not sure either one of us ever mastered that! Rosemary and I lost touch until two years ago when she and her mom attended my mother's funeral. That same sweet smile and calm demeanor greeted us at the visitation. I just know Rosemary is so dearly missed.

I well remember Rosemary and thought she was a very sweet person. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing, but glad to know she is no longer in pain and having to suffer from the cancer. She was a good person and I know a wonderful teacher as she was dedicated to whatever she wanted to do. May your family be comforted in knowing that she lived a good life and did all that she could to help others. May you also know that she is in a much better place and, hopefully you will all be comforted in knowing that Heavenly Father is watching over her and your family daily. Remember the good times and feel the love and happiness she had for your family. May the blessing of being a member of her family remain with you all the days of your life.
Sincerely,
Linda Thompson Coltes
