Wey and have four beautiful daughters Teresa (Rod) DeVary, Debbie Wey, Robin Brown (Brian) and Nicole (Micah) Smaga. She has 7 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren that were the loves of her life. Rose spent most of her working years as a valued employee at Eisner/Jewel Foods. While she held various positions her favorite was the floral department where she put her creative skills and flair for style to use. Upon retirement her greatest joy was spending time with her daughters, grandchildren, and great grandchildren where there was constant laughter, loudness, chaos, and shenanigans. She spent most of her winters in Ft. Myers, Florida at The Springs where the laughter and shenanigans continued. She made numerous friends who were near and dear to her heart which she considered family. Rosemary is preceded in death by her parents William (Foxy) & Dorothy Hardwick, Robert E.
