Rosemary Donald

Rosemary Mack Donald was born April 30, 1960 in Saginaw, Michigan to Ben and Ethel Mack. She entered into to her heavenly home on Saturday, November 30, 2019 at the age of 59 years.

Rosemary accepted Christ at an early age. She was a graduate of Saginaw High School, “Class of 1979.” After high school, she pursued a career in healthcare and worked at various nursing facilities in Saginaw as a CNA. Rosemary really enjoyed cooking and became a cook for the Cadillac Club and Rib Shack. Her food was always the best and you knew when she was in the kitchen.

Rosemary was known as a distinguished Queen and Diva. She was always poised and was never caught without her red lipstick, which was her trademark. She was a humorous person and one of her known sayings was “I know you shame.” Rosemary will be missed but never forgotten because “A rose by any other name is still a rose.”

Rosemary was preceded in death by her husband, Eddie Donald; parents, Ben and Ethel Mack; brother, Jackie Mack; sisters, Beverly Johnson, Veronica McKnight; father-in-law, Melvin Donald.
