She is survived by her devoted daughter, Kelli Summers, and her treasured grandchildren, Seth, Hailey, Alex, John, and Robert Narlock, who were the joy of her life. As the proud Grand Matriarch of her family, Rosemary was a guiding light, always ready with sage advice or a helping hand. Her home was a sanctuary filled with laughter, love, and an ever-present sense of warmth. Rosemary's interests were as rich and varied as her personality.
