RoseMary loved life, family, her flower gardens, and all her golf friends that she played and traveled with at Rome Country Club and Shamrock Golf and CC. Although she never saw the Buffalo Bills win a Super Bowl, she cheered them on loyally and loudly. RoseMary loved to cook and her legendary recipe for Beef Stroganoff has been shared by family and friends all over. She shared her love of animals with her family and spoiled many a lucky cat, dog and "other" animals in her life.
