She was an active and lifelong member of the now St. Angela Merici Parish, Sacred Heart Church, where she belonged to the Ladies Guild and was chairlady of the Sunshine Committee, sending cards to parishioners on a weekly basis and on special occasions.

Rosemary liked bingo, going to casinos, and buying lottery tickets. She enjoyed watching movies on the Hallmark Channel, especially the channel’s original movies featuring “Mr. Darcy.” Mrs. Cifalde truly loved family gatherings and holiday parties.
