Rosemary Williams
January 19, 1948 – August 26, 2024

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rosemary Williams on August 26, 2024, at the age of 76.

Rosemary was born on January 19, 1948, in Los Angeles, California. She spent most of her career in aerospace management, a field in which she excelled. However, her true passion lay in the well-being of the people she was responsible for. Rosemary was more than just a leader; she was a mentor and a friend to many, always prioritizing the needs and growth of those around her. Her dedication to helping others will be remembered by all who had the privilege of working with her.

Rosemary was a friendly, warm person who was always there with a smile or a laugh. She enjoyed life to the fullest, with a love for traveling, RVing, kayaking with orcas, snorkeling, music, dancing, hiking, beach days, and gardening. Her joyful spirit and adventurous nature, along with her green thumb, brought happiness to everyone around her.

Rosemary is survived by her loving husband, Gerry Williams; her brother, Scott Purcell; her daughter, Sarah Ingraham, and her children, Stephanie, Grant, Lexie, and Eden; her son, Bryan Cles, his wife, Krystal, and their daughter, Haylie; and Matthew Ficarella and his daughter, Emily.

Beyond her professional achievements, Rosemary was a compassionate soul who touched the lives of many. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. 

Arrangements are entrusted to the Cook Family Funeral Home of Bainbridge Island, WA.
