Rosemary, known as Dammie and Grandma, was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a kindergarten teacher, a gardener, a great cook, a fantastic organizer of anything (as detail-oriented as one could be!), a prayerful and devout Catholic and a woman who knew her mind. She loved and talked about her family all the time. She was raised by her mother when she was young, but then her mother developed tuberculosis very young and she was raised by her Aunt Cora "Cozy". She spent many summers visiting her mom on Saranac Lake (for the air) with her Aunt Cozy and friends and family. She and her husband, Frank, also explored their genealogy in the 80's before internet and had extensive trees, letters and photos. Her daughter, son Timothy, and granddaughter (maintaining this memorial) will try to do justice to the amount of information that we have. If you are related to us please send me an email or see my tree and info on ancestry. She would love this site and the volunteers on it. But most of all she loved her God, husband, kids, and grandkids. She was my best friend and I miss her something fierce.
