Rosemary Lewis

Rosemary Parkin Lewis, 70, of Beaufort, passed away on Thursday, February 29, 2024 at Carteret Health Care of Morehead City.

Rosemary was a lifelong resident of the community she loved, growing up on Front Street, where her radiant smile and generous spirit became well-known. She cherished her childhood memories and often reminisced about the carefree days spent with her cousins at Harkers Island, a place that held a special place in her heart for its beauty and the family bonds it represented.

With a natural affinity for nurturing, Rosemary found her calling in caring for children. She was a beloved babysitter to many, and the children she cared for was not just a job but became an integral part of her life. Her love for children was evident in the way she dedicated herself to their growth and happiness, creating a lasting impact on many young lives.

A service will be at a later date.
