She graduated from Monroe High School in 1948 and Harper Method Beauty School in 1949. Rosemary and Robert Wehinger were married on January 10, 1953 in Monroe.

Cut throat card games were played a plenty throughout her lifetime. The family spent countless hours together playing Euchre, 500, horse and pepper, and most recently, Skip-Bo. She was a card shark until the end of her days. In her later years she loved going to the cabin and spending time immersed in family. She loved listening to country music, watching old time TV programs, tennis, and most of all, figure skating. She will be missed immensely by her family and friends knowing that she is at peace. The family would like to send a special thank you to the intensive care staff at Monroe Clinic Hospital for the exceptional care given to Rosemary.

When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see the sun that shines upon your eyes, which are filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today while thinking of the many things we didn't do or say. I know how very much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me I'm right there in your heart.
