Rosemary Pawlak was married to the love of her life, Babe, for 59 years.  Rosemary was a mother of four children and their spouses (Gerry & Lesley, Judy & Mike, Janey & Stan, Jim & Cindy);  a grandmother of nine (Deanne, Scott & Meagan, Maria & Mike, Jessica & Alex, Rachel & Caleb, Michael & Nevena, Joe, Janelle and Christopher); and a great-grandmother of three (Noah, Lily and Emmy).

Growing up on the West Side of Detroit, Rosemary and her sister, Jan, were loved by a mother and father that left this world too soon.  But to know mom was to know that she grew up in a loving home, often surrounded by many uncles and aunts as well as thirty cousins.

Among many of her interests were reading, listening to music, dancing, and cooking.  Beyond those interests, it could be said, at the end of the day, Rosemary's most passionate interest was for conversation.  Politics, religion, food, and Dancing With the Stars were always topics she could talk about.

Funeral Services were held with a burial at St. Hedwig Cemetery. Family suggests memorials to Felician Sisters in Livonia, 36800 Schoolcraft, Livonia MI 48150. Mass offerings  may be made to St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in her name.
