Rosemary E. Hoskins, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and cherished member of our community, passed away peacefully on August 7, 2024 at the age of 75. Rosemary was born on October 4, 1948 in Williamstown, New Jersey to William and Freda Callahan. She was one of 9 children. Rosemary's life was a testament to her boundless love for her family and her passion for her community. Rosemary served with distinction as the Williamsburg Fire Chief, from 1991- 2008, and she also served on the Chamber of Commerce. Her leadership, courage, and commitment to the safety and well-being of her neighbors were nothing short of inspiring.

Rosemary’s enthusiasm for plants was evident throughout her home, where she found joy in tending to her many blooms and greenery. Her home was not just a collection of her many plants but a reflection of her nurturing spirit and zest for life.
