Rosemary Dawson

Born on October 23, 1928 in Los Angeles, California, Rosemary Dawson (Kelly) was the beloved daughter of Raymond and Julia Kelly. After graduating from high school in 1946, she married Thomas Dawson in 1948, and together they built a life filled with love, family, and devotion, celebrating 52 years of marriage and raising 5 children.

Rosemary’s bright smile and compassionate spirit welcomed everyone into her life, creating a sense of belonging and warmth that touched the hearts of all who knew her.

Her faith was a beacon of hope and guidance, a central part of her identity that informed every aspect of her life; she was a devoted prayer warrior who supported those around her with love and compassion.

Surrounded by family and loved ones, Rosemary passed away peacefully at her home on June 17th. She is survived by her five children Juli, Michael, Colleen, Kelly, and Christopher; seven grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren who will deeply miss her loving presence in their lives.
