Rosemary Francis Smith

Rosemary Francis Smith, 85, residing in Huron, passed away Tuesday morning, January 19, 2021 at Firelands Regional Medical Center following a brief illness.

Rosemary was born on June 2, 1935 in Sandusky, OH to the late Ralph and Loretta (Fisher) Smith.

Rosemary graduated from St. Mary's High School in 1953 and was a life-long member of St. Mary's Catholic Church. After 30 years of service at the former Providence Hospital, she retired as the head of the patient accounting department, which allowed her extra time to enjoy the company of her cherished family and friends.

She was a kind, loving and generous person, who will be missed by all those who knew and loved her.

In addition to her parents, Rosemary is preceded in death by her sister, Margaret Keller, brother, Ralph Smith Jr. and life-long friend, Mary Ward.

Rosemary is survived by her nephews, Dr. Richard (Michaele) Keller, JMichaele Keller (Cynthia Keller) and William (Lisa) Keller; niece, Amelia (Keith) Shepard; nephews, Larry Smith, Tad Smith and Charlie Smith; nieces, Mary Jo Storm and Barb Smith; many great nieces and nephews, their spouses and children; children and grandchildren of Mary Ward, including Dawn Werner, Heather Pletcher and Jesse Pletcher.

A private family service will be held at Groff Funeral Homes & Crematory, 1607 E Perkins Ave, Sandusky. Father Phil Feltman will officiate. Burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery, Sandusky.

In lieu of flowers, those wishing to contribute to Rosemary's memory may do so to Victory Kitchen, 1613 Hayes Ave., Sandusky, OH 44870 or Back to the Wild, PO Box 423, Castalia, OH 44824
