Rosemary loved everyone, had a spontaneous wit and a smile that could melt our heart. She worried about everyone but herself. She was humble and loved Jehovah her God with her whole heart and soul. She belonged to the Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Holland for more than 40 years and recently transferred to the Grand Haven Congregation. She believed in the “Resurrection Hope” and instilled that in her children and grandchildren. She is only sleeping.

Burial will be in Grand Haven Township Lakeshore Cemetery. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
