I’m not even sure where to begin.. Rosemary, who started as Mrs. Hughes to me eventually became Aunt Rosemary and she was unlike anyone I had ever known. I was so young when I met her but even then I knew she was a force of nature. I loved Rosemary like a second mom and Kim was my sister and best friend. I have countless memories of Rosemary and how she would always make me feel so very special. Her laugh was the most glorious sound.. hearty and true, a laugh that welcomed you in like a giant hug. You always felt right at home. Her business insight is something I always respected and have come to appreciate now that I’m older. She was years ahead of her time in so many ways. I don’t know how she knew all that she did, but she was truly ahead of her time. Rosemary was positively relentless in her pursuit of making sure everyone discovered their own unique talents.. she saw the potential in every person she knew. What a gift. She was also an amazing judge of character and I am beyond grateful she knew my husband and had the chance to meet my kids. Her ability to persevere and overcome obstacles is something I will carry with me along with her spirit. She was a true gift to all of us.
So sorry for your loss - Rosemary was a firecracker, always had a smile and light in her eyes. ♥️
Rosemary changed my life, I was an awkward, gawky 15 year old girl who was part of STAR. I auditioned for Commercial Kids and Rosemary saw something in me that no one else did and I became part of that amazing crew. She was always so kind and caring to me, always boosting me up. There was no one like her at all!
