Rose Mary’s greatest joy in life was her family. She was all about being around the people she loved.

She was a great cook and great baker making pies, decorating cakes, and making Calvin’s favorite chocolate brownies and cookies. Her hobbies included watching birds, cutting the grass, raking hay, helping on the farm in any way she could, and enjoying her position of CFO of the farm.
