In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial gifts be made in her name to St. Francis of the Islands, 590 Walthour Rd, Savannah GA 31410.
The family also extends thanks to Spanish Oaks Hospice, especially to Colby Aimar and Dianne Hall, and to our church family and special “angel” Kathy Pearson.

Mr. Kilpatrick, Scott, Veronica, & Charles, We are thinking of you on this day and you all will be in our prayers. Scott its hard to believe we have known one another nearly 20 years now. I remember the first time I met Rosemary at the business condo as a college student and she was so welcoming at our first meeting and every time there after.

Dear Charlie, Charles and Scott, I was so sad to hear about Rosemary. I didn't realize that she had been sick, and I am so sorry for your dear loss.

My prayer is that your Faith and your wonderful, happy memories will comfort and sustain you always. Much love to each of you, Jan

Charlie, Charles & Scott, Rosemary was one of a kind. What a great time we had on Country Club Drive watching everybody grow up. She was a damn fine crew, a good mother and a loyal loving wife; hard to beat that combo. I'm quite sure she is on starboard tack, hiking out looking around to see how far back Neffus is. You've got the right away Rosemary; you are free to cross. Neff McIntosh
