She was born on July 14, 1941 in Henry County to Merle Otto and Mary Marie (Todd) Scarff and had since been a lifelong resident. Roses' education started in Montgomery rural school near Trenton, Iowa and finished in the Mt. Pleasant school system. She married Charles Wesely, but later divorced and married James "Jim" Smith. Rose was of the Presbyterian faith and was not a member of any clubs or organizations. She worked at Emerson Electronics early on and everyone that came across her knew Rosemary was a genuine caretaker at heart and always put others before herself. For years she was an in-home caretaker to many in the area and worked for years as CNA at the Henry County Health center, as well at the Willows Assisted Living Center. When her older grandchildren were born, she started an in-home daycare to help care for them as well as other local children. She also was a foster mother to many over the years. Rosemary's humanity and kindness will never be forgotten, and her legacy will live on through her family. Somedays you wake up and are ready to take on the day with full force, ready to smile, and others not so much – not Rosemary. Always so kind. She was a simple person with a huge "heart of gold" who always put others, especially children, ahead of her own responsibilities and needs. When able, she would work two or three jobs to have the funds to help others and gave all she had, plus more to whoever needed help. Her family, especially the kids, were her main priority and definitely her pride and joy, along with her many animals over the years, including her little dog, Sassy. She thrived on having her grandkids around and always stressed the importance of family, and cooking holiday dinners. Rosemary was proceeded in death by her parents, three sisters - Ruth VanTrump, Roberta Calloway, and Helen Parrot, and one grandson, Justin Smith.
