In Loving Memory Rosemary Catherine Armstrong Dec. 18, 1926 – Oct. 1, 2013 Rosemary Armstrong was the fourth of five children born to Andrew and Barbara Appelhans in Sterling, Colorado where she grew up. She married Derald Elsworth Armstrong on July 3, 1949. They moved to Tigard, OR in 1972. Rosemary was a very loving and devoted mother and grandmother. She loved to crochet, bowl with family and friends, play cards, cook, and dote on her grandchildren. She was the host of hundreds of family and holiday gatherings, where everyone loved her rolls, home-made jam and especially her pies. She was an active member of the Sherwood Elks Club and St. Anthony’s Church. She will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched and remembered fondly for all the wonderful memories we have of her. She is survived by her five children – Linda Armstrong (Tom Lovelace), Michael (Gayle) Armstrong, Patricia Wisdom (Mark), Robert (Julie) Armstrong, Mary Harris (Jim), 11 grandchildren and 6 ½ great-grandchildren. Rosemary was preceded in death by her husband, Derald, in 1977 and also by her sister, Amalia Schiel, brother, John Appelhans.
