Horrible news! Anyone remember Rosemary/Butzie?

post #1 of 83
Thread Starter 


Rosemary passed away. On December 10! She was only 53!

This is the obituary:
http://www.tributes.com/show/Rosemary-Hyman-90341036

Does anyone know what happened? Jacky, Rigel and I have been talking about it. Jacky found the obit.

We are so saddened by this and I know I want to extend condolences to the family, but also - and I apologize if this seems morbid - to find out what happened. She was young and I know she worked out and watched her weight.. ?????

We were also concerned about Butzie and if she is safe if this was some kind of sudden event.

Was anyone else in contact with Rosemary? Have her ex's email or something?

This is terrible news. Rosemary was my SS recipient. No wonder she never posted any acknowledgement.
Am very sorry to hear of her demise. I checked her profile and she visited the site on Dec. 20. Obviously it was not her but whoever it was, should have posted something.
Goodbye Rosemary! Rest in peace.

Oh my gosh! I am stunned! If I remember correctly she has a teenage son and a daughter in her 20s. If someone knows or finds out what happend; please let me know. I can't believe this!

I am soo, soo saddened to hear this . This does explaine why she never called or texted me back though. I had been in touch with her since 2008 (Over the last few months, it had mainly been about SS, but also just as a friend). She had been in and out of the hospital multiple times over the past year and had been dealing with a lot personally. (I will keep the reasons for the hospital visits private out of respect to her right now; if the mods don't mind, I will elaborate more later.) The last time she went into the hospital, I didn't hear from her for quite a while. I called her a few times and texted in December (about her SS), but never heard back. I thought maybe she was just busy. Now I know why I never heard back. I was worried something happened to her; it wasn't like her not to call/text back. I had no other numbers for her family/friends to check in on her though . I am soo sad to hear this development. She does indeed have two children, Ben- her son, and an older daughter (Jennifer) that is in college. My prayers go out to both of them right now.

Does anyone know if her kitty, Butzie is safe?

In a side note, several years ago, she ordered a design piece from me that I shipped out to California for her. I believe it had her ex husbands email address attached to their paypal account. I will try to look up his email address (it's been a long time, so I'm not sure if I still have it) and get in touch with him to get an update on the rest of her family and Butzie.

That is horrible news. I'm so sorry to hear that. I didn't know her well, just from what she posted on this site, but she seemed so full of life, always interesting to read what was going on with her. I don't know what else to say. I hope she at peace, and I send my condolences to her family and friends.

After a little bit of digging, I was able to find Rosemary's ex-husband's email address. I emailed George a few minutes ago; I'm just hoping that it is a current email address and he is able to respond. If I hear anything, I will let all of you know.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear this news I knew I hadn't seen her about the site

My condolences to her family

This is so sad It's one where we have to tread carefully with an ex husband though, because what if he doesn't know anything yet?.

Oh my goodness, how shocking and heartbreaking! I just posted for her in the birthday thread yesterday morning!

this is such sad news! I will keep her family in my thoughts
post #21 of 83
I will certainly keep her family in my thoughts. I'm so sorry for them. I wonder about Butzie, too??
post #22 of 83
What a shock! I didn't know her except through her posting here, but she seemed like a special lady. I too hope someone is taking care of Butzie.

Shocked and sadden. RIP Rosemary

Condolences to her family. This is so sad and I hope Butzie will be cared for.

I sent her a happy birthday - we used to PM a lot, and I've been worried about her, but saw her last site visit was just before Christmas. As someone pointed out, obviously it wasn't her. This is just shocking and SO sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As she had children, I can't imagine her DH wouldn't know. I'm not even sure the divorce was actually final - it might have been, but that would have been this fall at most (I'm pretty sure) though they'd been separated for some time.

I am so so so so sorry. to her family.
post #27 of 83
Will keep the family in our prayers. I hope the cats went to good homes.
post #28 of 83
That is so sad, and such a shock. I hope her family is okay.

Where are you seeing that someone logged on December 20? The last post I see from Rosemary was November 9.
post #29 of 83
I'm so sad about this I really liked Rosemary! And I looked forward to her postings and reading about Butzie!

I know she was having problems with her hand which was broken and required surgery. I never heard anything more.

I hope Butzie and Sandy (Bird) are being looked after by a family/friend.

I had only seen Rosemary a few times here on TCS, as she stopped posting just a little while after I joined, but from the posts I saw, she was a very kind person. RIP Rosemary. At least now she has joined her RB pets.
I hope that Butzie and her budgies are okay, and have someone caring for them.
