Hello, Jack and Marg. Jay and I were at our daughter's in Columbus, OH when the obituary came out in the paper. I was unable to attend the funeral. I would have loved
seeing you both. Wonderful memories of Rosemary Crance. Her zest for life and
always a laugh with her. Of course she was our go to lady for prom, wedding and
all special dresses. She made a dress for my daughter when she was in high
school. Made one for me in 2006 when our youngest son Peter got married. It was
fabulous! She was a master at her craft!!!!!! May you find comfort in the memories
and know the love she had for you both. Sincerely, Jill Parent Howell
Rosemary was a gem and a beautiful woman, inside and out. She was such a skilled seamstress. I remember that I had an insignificant job for her to do one time. As I was leaving after dropping off the project, I turned to her and said "It doesn't have to be perfect." She gave me a smile and said, "Then you've brought it to the wrong place."
Margaret and family..so sorry to learn of Rosemary's passing. I was blessed to know her through her awesome designing and sewing abilities. She helped me design and make beautiful costumes for me (and some shirts for the band..Joe Taylor's Red Birds) when we were warm up band for the stars at Buck Lake Ranch in Angola. That was in the 50s and 60s. She always had a smile. She always was the best at everything she did. May God wrap his arms around all of you. Rest in peace my special Rosemary.
Rosemary - your spirit will live on forever. I will never forget your smile, your wonderful positive attitude, or your youthful determination to take on whatever came your way. I love you and will miss you. Karen Kippert, Queen 2016, Daughters of the Nile
