Rosemary A. Regan

Rosemary A. Regan, age 85, of Plymouth, passed away on December 4, 2018.  Rosemary was born January 10, 1933 in New York City, New York.  She was the daughter of Raymond and Madeline (nee Barrett) Guidera.  She graduated in the class of 1951 from Mary Louis Academy in Jamaica Estates, New York.  She was united in marriage on August 22, 1964 to Donald J Regan to whom she was devoted for over 52 years until his death in 2016.

Rosemary grew up and remained in New York City until 1981 when she moved to Michigan living in both Troy and Plymouth.  She was a caring and loving homemaker who always made family her priority.  Rosemary was a fantastic cook.  She was passionate about animals – taking in many strays over the years to become beloved family pets.  It did not stop there.  She would even care for injured wild animals when needed - either seeking out medical care or bringing them into her home until they were healed.  Rosemary was an accomplished artist who often volunteered her talents.  But, above all else, she was a dedicated wife and selfless mother.  Over the last couple of years, Rosemary embraced and loved her newfound extended family at Sunrise Assisted Living in Northville.  Her family truly appreciates the love and care they gave Rosemary.

Rosemary is survived by her children, Joanne (Gary) Kosten and Donna (Hugo) Delevie; and her grandchildren, Keith Kosten, Caitlin Delevie, and Maggie Delevie. She was also loved by her husband’s siblings and many nieces and nephews.  She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.

Services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions are suggested to the Michigan Animal Rescue League, 790 Featherstone, Pontiac, MI 48342.
