Rose Mary’s family and friends were in attendance to share in her honor. Her grandson, Jacob Rogers, shared several of her life stories and got many chuckles from the audience. Above, Rose Mary accepts her Catholic Daughter of the Year 2011 plaque from Cathy McCoin, chairperson for Catholic Daughter of the Year. During the meeting, Regent Bernice M.
