In 1998, Rosemarie moved to Henderson, NV, where she spent nearly two decades serving her community as a CNA and serving the Lay Carmelite Order.

She adored cooking in her kitchen and gathering her beloved family for home cooked meals. Rosemarie's life was centered in her Catholic Faith. She loved Jesus and her family more than anything.
