Rosemary Emma Lieb was born Nov. 23, 1926, in Mitchell, S.D., the beloved daughter of Gearhardt Aloysious and Ida Rose (Sauer) Lieb. She was united in marriage to John “Jack” Hines on Aug. 24, 1949, in Sioux City, Iowa. Jack preceded her in death on Feb. 6, 2007. Rosemary retired from Sears after 30 years of service in the sales and credit department but always said her most treasured memories were spent staying home with her children.

She was a member of St. Matthew's Catholic Church. She enjoyed shopping with her daughters, collecting and restoring antiques, upholstering, sewing, playing bridge, and staying active in both All Saints and St. Matthew's Catholic churches.

The Hines family would like to thank the entire Keystone staff, Mercy Hospice, Dr. Nick Morio and Father Mark Osterhaus for their special care of Rosemary.
