Rosemary Ann Hanley passed away on June 20, 2015, at the age of 83. Rosemary was born November 30, 1931 in Westbury, New York.

She will be remembered as a strong woman who had a gift for conversation and a quick wit. She will be missed by all whose lives she had the honor of touching.

Her mother, Florence Waldren, stepfather, William Waldren, and brothers Joe Callahan and Peter Callahan preceded her in death.

The family extends a special thank-you to Rosemary's sister-in-law, Jackie Callahan for her hours spent with our mother at Lompoc Skilled Nursing and Rehab in addition to the countless time spent with us on the phone offering counsel and a listening ear. Thank-you to Ramona Miranda, whom mom called a dear friend; who daily sat with Rosemary reading and praying, this brought our mother great comfort. Thank-you to Ann Gardali and Cousin David Harris who were able to stay with our father and support him during this difficult time. Appreciation and respect to Hospice nurses Billie and Theresa who provided comfort and care to our mother during her final days. The family requests that any donations in Rosemary's honor be made to Visiting Nursing and Hospice, www.vnhcsb.org.
