While living in Sandpoint Idaho, she attended beauty school, was a great beautician, and later instructor.
She started “The Agape” (God’s love) Christian Book Store with one table and a few books and built it up to a beautiful tribute to Jesus.
She also ministered to the terminally ill. She moved to Spokane and managed The Coachman condos and helped her son Steve with his business Hilarious Doughties (cheerful givers) doing his books.
The last six years of Rosemary’s life she was able to see a lifelong dream of owning a home on the water, come true.
Rosemary’s daughter, Cathy joined her in those last six years to help care for her.
In Rosemary’s last three months Gentiva Hospice provided her with a loving, caring, supportive staff while in her daughter Debbie and Perry’s loving home with loving care from granddaughter Micah and great-granddaughter’s Liz and Emy.
