Rosemary was a Director of Mason Shoe Company for 50 years, and was proud of her role of supporting the growth and development of this family business that her Grandfather and Father created in 1904. She was an active Volunteer in the community throughout her life. She was a long term Cub Scout Den mother while her 3 sons were growing up. She was active in Hospice, and volunteered at Sacred Heart Hospital, and loved helping anyone in the Garfield neighborhood, or in need.
Rosemary was a very accomplished artist, painting over 500 paintings. She traveled extensively, and loved meeting new people and learning new things. Her favorite travels were with her children and grandchildren, and she and Bob loved organizing family trips.
