Rosemary spent the last 23 years employed by Durham School Services where she drove a school bus for special needs children.  She truly loved and cared for the students that she transported. For the last 23 years she was an extremely active member of the Teamsters Union Local 170 where she was a shop steward for the last 15 years.   Rosemary will be remembered by many as a devoted woman who gave of herself.
