Rosemary was a lifelong dyed-in-the-wool Pittsburgher. She was a 1953 graduate of Annunciation High School where she was taught the beautiful cursive handwriting by the sisters of Saint Joseph. She enjoyed the North Hills and most recently resided at Northland Heights in Ross Township Pa. and attended Saint Teresa's Church in Perrysville.

Rosemary was independent minded yet quietly wise and gentle with a beautiful smile that lit up her face. Even timid pets would find their way to her lap. She likes butterflies. Rosemary enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, socializing over coffee with friends, playing bingo, card games, bowling, following the Penguins and Pirates and trips to Las Vegas. She enjoyed TV shows like "The View" and personality Kelly Rippa. In later life after AMD and hearing loss took away the pleasure of those activities, she carried on having faith in God's plan.

She is survived by her loving daughter Carol (Pelescak) Rigdon as well as nieces, nephews and dear friends.
