Dear Jeff, Chris & Justin,
Your Mom was a special person. Spending time at the beach, at shows and just gathering together with the girls was only part of what we shared. She is at peace and dipping her toes in the sand. My condolences to you all. I will miss her smile and laugh.

As a new mother of twins back in 2005, Rosemary always shared a twins’ mom story. Her love of reading, her love of Jefferson Township Middle School, and her warm smile made her leap from the math classroom to the media center all the more perfect. I loved working with Rosemary. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. Warm regards, Robin Knutelsky

Rosemary was bigger than life and a huge part of Jefferson Township Middle School for so many years. When she retired she left a void that could not be filled. She had a big Irish heart and her passing has left holes in the hearts of so many who had the good fortune of having been blessed with her friendship
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal." (an Irish saying)

Sending my sincere condolences to Rosemary's family. There will always be a special place in my heart for Rosemary whom I worked with at JTMS for 9 years. She mentored me through my media specialist program and was always loving, generous, and caring. Her bravery as she battled her cancer was an inspiration. She never complained, but always focused on the positive. She is safe at home. May your faith give you peace in that.

Rosie was an English teacher's best friend when it came to books and reading. As the Media Specialist at Jefferson Township Middle School, Rosie was a colleague, a friend and a confidante, always making time to listen, offer advice, or even a hug, if that's what you needed. A true gem if ever there was one. She will be missed by so many. Thank you, Rosie, for supporting all of us in and out of the classroom.

Rosemary leaves a lasting memory in my mind. She was kind, generous and always had a smile on her face. I remember sitting with her at her last NEA-RA convention where she proudly spoke of her twins and their families. She had a kind word for everyone. I enjoyed working with her on MCCEA and received a nice email from her when I recently joined the MCREA. Rest in peace and keep smilinng Rosemary.

Rosemary was the best sister-in-law a guy could ask for. She had a great sense of humor, was kind, and caring. She never said a bad word about anyone. I could talk to her about anything, especially sports; we were both Yankees fans. Best of all, she really enjoyed my cooking. Tragically, she was taken from us way too soon, and we're really going to miss her smile, her laughter, and her upbeat and positive attitude about life. She was one in a million. We will see you on the other side one day, Rory. Until then, rest in peace.

My heart is breaking that I lost my best friend, my sister of 70 years, my hero. "Rory", as she was referred to by the family, was the kindest, most selfless, bravest, and loving person I have ever known. Her smile lit up a room, and her laughter was contagious. She never spoke ill of anyone or entered into discussions of politics or other controversial subjects. I always told her she was a better Christian than me because, from time to time, I have been known to be guilty of all those things. She was trustworthy to a fault and was an awesome mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend. I was so very blessed and lucky to have such an incredible human being for my sister. For me, waking up in the morning is the hardest; I keep thinking this is all some sort of really bad dream but, when I open my eyes, reality sets in and I realize it's not a dream...she really is gone. We were as close as any two sisters could be, and what I will miss most is not being able to pick up the phone and call her to chat like we did 3 or 4 times a week. My conversations with her will now be one-sided conversations from the heart. One star in the sky shines a little less bright, but her loving spirit can never be extinguished. If I had to guess, I would have to say that Heaven will never be the same; I can imagine her doing the Irish jig all the way to the pearly gates. She is with my Mom & Dad and our two baby brothers now, so I'd say she's in pretty good hands. Rest in peace my sweet sister. Until we meet again, love you...….Jeannie

Our hearts go out to all of Rosemary’s family. She was one of the kindest people we have ever met. Always smiling and willing to go, Ro was a joy to be with. Along with her love for the shore, Ro was a consummate shopper .
She never had an unkind word for anyone and her infectious smile brighten any where she went. She fought a courageous battle with grace, faith and humor. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always ay your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face.The rays fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again May God Hold You in the palm of his hand.
Pat, Frank, Karen and Joanne
