Rosemary McHarg, 96, passed away on Monday, December 9, 2019 in Chillicothe, Ohio.
Rosemary was born August 8, 1923 in Roseville, Ohio to the late Joseph and Lulu Moses. She grew up in Hillsboro, Ohio where she graduated from Hillsboro High School.

She is survived by her three daughters, who are the loves of her life: Terry Hill (Mike McKinney), Jane Highland (Pat), and Julie Halladay (David).
She was a loyal member of Saint Mary's Catholic Church, an avid supporter of Bishop Flaget schools, and spent over 20 years as an administrative assistant at Ohio University-Chillicothe, where she made countless friendships and connected with students, faculty, and guests.
Rosemary's nine grandchildren loved her deeply and knew her only as "Mamaw."

Coffland. She was fond of her devoted caregiver Angie Miller. An avid bridge, euchre, and poker player, Rosemary could often be found around the card table playing with reckless abandon.
