Rosemary Nunez, (age 68), went home to be with her Lord on January 14, 2017 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She is survived by her sons, Ryan, Aaron and Adam; her daughter-in-law, Adrienne; four grandchildren, Eric, Isaac, Abraham and Grace; and her sister, Nicole Joyce. Rosemary was born in Alamosa, Colorado, but lived in the valley for nearly 60 years. She lived a purposeful life, having an unmistakable relationship with her Savior Jesus Christ. She influenced the lives of many people. Whether you were one of the hundreds of families that experienced her in-home daycare and preschool, a student in one of her beloved kindergarten classes, or a camper who enjoyed her cooking every year at summer camp, you were undoubtedly impacted by her kindness and compassion. Rosemary's authentic faith in God was demonstrated by her sustaining devotion to Bible Studies, Sunday School classes, and home groups that she either attended or led over the years. She will be lovingly remembered by her family, friends, and all who knew her well. A memorial service will be held at 10:00 AM on January 28, 2017 at Desert Springs Community Church, 14440 W. Indian School Rd., Goodyear, Arizona, where she was a member for over 30 years.
