She was an avid Chicago Cubs Fan, and her favorite player of all time was Ron Santo. She was proud to be Italian, loved to cook, and always offered a meal to whomever entered her home. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family.

I can't express how sorry I am to hear the news of Rosemarie passing. When we first met I could count on seeing her and her husband Dewayne everyday at the golf course. She would visit me at the bar and order a coke and help herself to the popcorn. Occasionally we had to hide the popcorn so Dewayne wouldn't know Ha! The topic of conversation had a wide range but it always circled back to the things that meant the most, her children, grandchildren and of course the Cubs! As the years went on Rosemarie and Dewayne became two of my favorite people as well as good friends. Rosemarie will be missed, but there is comfort in knowing that her and Dewayne can now hold hands for eternity. Rest easy Rosemarie and say Hello to my buddy for me. My thoughts are with her family through this difficult time. I miss you All!
