| It is with deep regret that the unexpected death of Rosemary Curran passed away 18th November 2015 at the end of a Caribbean Cruise with three friends in New Orleans USA a beautiful gentle soul who will be sadly missed by all
Rosemary lived on her own in Mooroolbark and decided to join the CWA of Wandin approx. seven years ago.
A large tribute goes out for her position as "Branch Conservation Officer" for most of this time where she researched, examined & shared her stories to the full.
Rosemary would have turned 80 in February 2016 & was really looking forward to family & friends social aspects.
She lived on her own (outliving two husbands) and had no children of her own she had a very full life. Loved and cared for by her two much younger brothers and their families, friends and members of the organisations she belonged to.
Her brothers (Robert and Peter Alexander) have donated $300 to the Wandin Branch in Rosemary's memory allocated to a suitable organisation in the Valley.
