Proud of her Mountain state, Rosemary gave Step-On Tours for many years. Hot dog sales, fundraisers, lecturing and Mardi Gras parties were among her many contributions to the parishes of St. Francis Catholic Church in St. Albans, WV and Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Nitro, WV

An immeasurable loss to this world but an amazing contribution to God’s glorious kingdom in heaven. Rosemary could cheer up the the lowest of the depressed and just as easily, calm down the haughty to speechlessness. I will miss her but I’m grateful for that resurrection morning when I’ll see her again. See you later, Rosemary.
