Rosemary was a Christian woman who believed in faith and was a part of Applegate Christian Church. Illness struck her at an early age with kidney disease at the age of 32. Rosemary lived a life not taking it for granted and looked for adventures where she could find that would take her to the outdoors or traveling across all 50 states being a care giver for Mr. Flyn for his wife at different times after Darrell’s passing in 1977 to support her children. She loved living life and bringing family together and cherished her time with all family members. She loved camping, fishing, rafting, planting, flying kites, skiing through the mountain tops, she loved animals. She enjoyed giving to others and saw the blessings of friendship that came from caring for others. The simple things in life where she would find her happiness.
