Rosemary grew up in Crossville, Illinois where she graduated from Crossville High School in 1944. While she was working at the Crossville Baptist Church, she met an ex-military man named Roscoe Williams who had come to work at the Warren Petroleum Plant. They were married on September 15, 1945 in Crossville and were married 67 years at the time of Roscoe’s passing. In 1949 Roscoe’s job transferred the family to Maysville. Granny, as she was affectionately known, was an avid reader who enjoyed book clubs, drama, gardening, collecting salt and pepper shakers, garage sales, and shopping. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
