Rosemary was such a wonderful lady. I was lucky enough to know her for a number of years through my bookclub. I will always remember her warmth and her avid love of reading. She will be sadly missed. Sheryl Guta

I was very to learn of Rosemary's passing. I has been many years since I have seen her and members of her family, but I remember them well. She was truly a real lady and a wonderful person to know. We had many nice conversations when she came in for her dental visits. She and her family were among many that I missed when I retired.
Sincerely,
Joe Corey

For the past eleven years, Rosemary was my very dearest friend. We were neighbors in our “happy place,” Glen Lake. Her friend, Glenn, put it best when he said, “Rosemary was the queen of kindness” - she never met a stranger, and all who knew her loved her. You may be out of sight, dear Rosemary, but you will forever be in our hearts.

This picture of Rosemary brings memories of a lovely woman with a beautiful smile and great laugh. As a teenager, she was like a big sister to me, someone I admired then and now. And she was one terrific cook! My sincere condolences to her family.

I am so very sorry to hear this. I was just thinking of her and was so very saddened by this news. Rosemary was a strong, passionate, and influential pioneer education leader in technology and distance learning in Michigan when it was in its infancy. I had the great privilege of working with her and learning from her through REMC and MADL (Michigan Association of Distance Learning). She touched the lives of so many and was not only a talented educational leader, but she was a friend, always supportive and encouraging. I have thought of her fondly over the years and wish the family peace during this very difficult time. Rosemary was and always will be a shining light who will never be forgotten, especially by me. Thank you Rosemary for your beautiful legacy.

Rosemary and I lived across the street from each other as children growing up. We both went to St. Joseph School and Aquinas College, and both lived in the Grand Rapids area afterwards. When we were kids, Rose was a year older than we were, and she took it as her duty to teach us the facts of life--because she was older than we were and, besides, her mother was a nurse, you know :-). A wonderful family. A fine person.

Rosemary and I attended St Joseph High School together. Many great memories! Her Parents “chief “ and John were also the best of friends with my husbands parents Curt and Doris Lutzke, so we all shared many fun times with them and their friends. My condolences to all the family!

Rose and I were friends and classmates at St. Joseph School in Bay City and have stayed in touch over all these years. She was liked by everyone, was active in many organizations, had a warm sense of humor and a beautiful smile. She had a way with words and had a special singing voice. I will always remember Rose as a gracious and gentle spirit. Rest in peace, dear one. May her family be strong as they cherish fond memories of their loved one.
