Rosemary was volunteer librarian for the Southern Highland Craft Guild at the Folk Art Center in the ’80s. A great deal was accomplished during her tenure. She worked hard to bring things ‘up to snuff’. The Guild was pleased to present Rosemary with an Honorary Membership in 1984.
We were proud to know her and will miss her. She continued to support the Guild for years after she was no longer our librarian.
