SOUTH BEND - Rosemary Granger's life began on April 13, 1945, in Natchez, Mississippi, when she was born to Louise O'Neal and Willie Lee Granger.
Rosemary moved to South Bend, Indiana, in 1958 where she studied and graduated from Central High School. At an early age she dedicated her life to Christ and was a Mother of St. Paul Bethel Baptist Church serving on the usher board. Rosemary was employed by Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center as a personal assistant in major surgery. As a loyal worker she retired after 30 years of service.
