Rosemary was a devoted homemaker,
farm wife, and member of the Atlanta Christian
Church. Her love of children led her to volunteer
with Vacation Bible School (VBS) and teach Sunday
School for many years, along with volunteering for
the PTA and writing children’s books as a hobby. She
was a member of the Atlanta Women’s Club and enjoyed
bowling and making pressed-flower stationery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the
Atlanta Library for the purchase of children’s books
or to The Christian Village in Lincoln.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley
Funeral Home of Atlanta.
