Rosemary Gibbes, passed away on January 28, 2006. Many of us remember Rosemary as the woman who helped make our college career happen. She was the one person who made sure we did our college applications and she made sure the colleges of our choice received our Hudson records. Rosemary began her career as the Records Secretary at Hudson High School on September 4, 1958. After 42 years of service in the same job, she retired on June 30, 2000.
There is a scholarship being established in Rosie's name through the Hudson Endowment Fund. Details will be posted on the site as they become available.
A memorial service was held at the First Congregational Church of Hudson.
The following is her obituary as printed in the Akron Beacon Journal.
