She was born June 3rd 1949 in San Diego California to Lucile Neilson and Alvin Morgan Smith. Married Stephan G Jecusco 1971 (divorced), Ronald Rawlings 1993 (Divorced). As a child Rosemary always did well in school and later got a degree and worked in commercial art doing fashion Illustration. Her artistic ability was remarkable. She joined the Church of Latter Day Saints while young and remained a strong and faithful member all of her life. Rosemary worked and supported herself all of her adult life through many different jobs and raised her three children with her income alone. Always a proud and devoted mother, her love for her children came before anything else. She was known for her intelligence, truthfulness, wry sense of humor and strong testimony. No one expected she would leave us so soon. She was sixty four years old and in good health before an aggressive lymphoma developed. In the weeks she had from the diagnosis, her mental strength, courage, faith and sense of humor never slipped. She will be sorely missed by those whose lives she touched.
