On Friday, October 26th , 2012, Rosemary Stroud McVicker decided to continue her lifetime dance with her husband of 65 years, (William L. McVicker who preceded her in joining Christ). As a couple, they believed in the strength and love of friends and were committed to keeping lifelong relationships with both grade school and high school friends alike. Rosemary was a gentle yet strong woman who loved to laugh and always would ask "what good do you know today?" Rosemary was preceded in death by her parents Charlie and Hilda and was the 9th of 16 children whose memory will be cherished by anyone who was fortunate to know her. She was an elegant woman who deeply loved her children, always placed their needs ahead of her own, and had such a gentle touch. She is survived by her four children; daughters Susan (Jeffrey) Bennett, Colleen (Bruce) Davenport, and sons, Michael (Marian) McVicker and Patrick (Cindy) McVicker. She was also blessed with 12 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
Friends may call at the Foth – Dorfmeyer Mortuary 3815 Sylvania Ave. (Between Monroe St. & Talmadge Rd.) Monday from 6 – 8 PM with a scripture service at 7 PM.
Funeral Mass will be held Tuesday at Gesu Catholic Church at 10 AM with interment to follow at Ottawa Hills Memorial Park. The family suggests memorial tributes be made to the Sunset House.
"The angels will stand and the Father will speak "No more." Every person who lives and who ever lived will turn toward the sky and hear God announce "No more." No more loneliness. No more tears. No more death. No more sadness. No more crying. No more pain. And the Angels Were Silent
We love you mom and enjoy the dance!
