Rosemary was a housewife, paraprofessional at Windom Elementary School for 15 years, and farm manager for her and Don’s farm. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church, Little River, and attended Abundant Life in Hutchinson, Kansas. Rosemary was a lover of all people, as much as a lover of Jesus. She loved the Lord, loved his Word, and lived it out in every facet of her life. Regardless of the challenges which stood in her or her family’s way, she put the Lord first. Her children, grandchildren, friends, and acquaintances would attest to her agape, unconditional love and compassion. The legacy of Rosemary Jordan will forever be known as one that always put others first, loved hard, and forgave fast.
