Rosemary passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early hours of Tuesday, May 26th. She is predeceased by her loving husband John (Jack), and is survived by her two adoring sons John (Mary-Helen) and Ross (Marie-Josée), her two grandchildren Amber and Justin, and numerous nieces and nephews. Mum/Grammy enjoyed socializing with her many friends and family members, watching tennis, gardening, and painting. Many throughout Victoria and Oak Bay knew Rosemary as a very active tennis player with the Oak Bay Tennis Club and a tennis instructor at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre. She was loved and will be dearly missed by all.
