Rosemary, 91, was born on January 18, 1931 in Westphalia, Kansas, and passed away on April 26, 2022 in her home, surrounded by her loving family.
Her greatest joy was being with her family. In her spare time she enjoyed watching Cardinals baseball, playing with her dog, Junie, reading, watching westerns and the Golden Girls, and tending to her flowers. Rosemary babysat her great-grandchildren until the age of 89. She traveled the world with her husband while he was in the Air Force. They retired in Orlando, Florida and later relocated to Missouri.
Those left to cherish Rosemary's memory are:
Children: daughter, Victoria (Berry) Clark and husband, Charlie; son, Franklin L. Berry III; daughter, Lisa (Berry) Carter and husband, Kevin; daughter, Kandi (Berry) Witte and husband, Bryan; and daughter-in-law, Connie Berry.
Grandchildren and spouses: Charity and Rick Penrose, Adrienne and Ben Ferrell, Lacy and Alex Zweig, Tasha Davis, Torrey and Gordon Whitelock, Tawney and Jordan Bailey, Levi and Elana Carter, Nicholas, Drew and Elliot Berry.
Great-Grandchildren: Kyren, Charleigh, Clementine, Ada, July, Tegeau, Valor, Destry, Cheyenne, Clayton, Wyatt, Carter, Rose, Aidynn, Elldyn, and Emerson.
And also: Kandi's best friends, Jeri Duncan and Deanna Campbell, who she adopted in her heart; sister-in-law, Lois Hetrick; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Rosemary was preceded in death by her loving husbands, Franklin L. Berry Jr., Raymond Gastler, and George Harrison (not THE George Harrison); son, Brad Berry; her parents; and four siblings.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations be made to St. Jude's Children's Hospital or the ASPCA.
A celebration of life will be held in the summer of 2022 and will be posted on Facebook at a later time.
