Rosemary was a long-time Hastings resident and homemaker. She passed away quietly in her home surrounded by her four daughters after a brief bout with cancer. She was born in Porterville, California on January 28, 1924 and was raised in Alliance, Nebraska, where the Freimuth clan had settled as homesteaders. She was a long-time active member and former president of the Altar Society, an avid swimmer at the Hastings YMCA, and an accomplished gardener. Her life well-lived and service to others are an inspiration to all who knew her.

Rosemary was preceded in death by her daughter, Diane; mother, Mary A. Freimuth; and father, Joseph M. Freimuth.
