Rosemary was a native of New Orleans, and a devoted Catholic. She adored being a stay at home mom. Rosemary could raise anyone’s spirits with her positive outlook on everything, everyday. She especially enjoyed going to casinos or playing bingo with her friends at Forest Manor. She would report her $2 winnings as if she won a million! Her true passion was spending time with her family and friends. She will always be remembered as the surrogate grandmother (Maw) for everyone’s children. She will be remembered and missed by all who knew her. The family sends a special thank you to the staff of Forest Manor Nursing Home for all their help, support and kindness during Rosemary’s time as a resident.
