Rosemary was born on March 12, 1959 in Newark. She graduated from Verona High School and Fairfield University. She dedicated her professional life to a variety of career paths which brought her joy and allowed her to explore the world.
Ro loved traveling and lived for meeting new people and going on adventures- whether it was hikes, social gatherings, the beach, or simply being in nature. She was dedicated to helping others heal and had a magical way of helping people to identify “the gift” in the challenges of life. Ro always found a way to see the beauty and good in things. She loved laughing with family and friends and brought light and love to all those around her. Ro was best known for her butterscotch cake, gravity chairs, and bags of endless goodies. She will be missed by all but never forgotten.
