Rosemary D. Dawicki's Obituary
If you are reading this, my time on earth has come to an end. I hope I have returned home to our heavenly Father. I was born in St. Michael’s Hospital in Newark, NJ in 1942 to the late John Clinton & Ann Marie (Singerle) Medlin. The first of 7 children. Living for my 1st 21 years in South River, NJ where I graduated from SR High in 1960. Married my husband Edward C. Dawicki Jr on October 19, 1963, and moved to Spotswood, NJ until retiring to Georgetown DE in 2007.
I graduated Middlesex County College (Accounting) in 1986, doing so to set an example to my kids to never give up. Speaking of kids, they are the best thing that ever happened to us. We are so proud of the outstanding people they have become! They are Edward C. Dawicki III of Key West, FL, and Jennifer A. Dawicki of Willemstad, Curacao. Ed is married to Mandy, and they have the most beautiful, intelligent daughter, Rylee Rich age 17. Jennifer is married to Douglas Waters, and they have three amazing children, Kayleigh age 24, Keegan age 22, and Aidan age 20.
When my children were in school, I volunteered as a room mother, a Girl Scout Leader, coached the midget cheerleaders, taught CCD, and attended all their soccer games and most of their college soccer games.
My siblings are : Jacqueline Fox, George Medlin, Janice Fusco, Cynthia Jadczak, John C. Medlin Jr. and Nancy Hodges. Nieces: Annie Harper (Kyle), Alethia Medlin, Samantha Medlin. Nephews: Thomas Fox (Anne), Dominick & George Medlin, Michael Fusco (Erica), Stephen Fusco (Rachel) and Sean Fusco (Arianne); John & Timothy Medlin. Great nieces: Kathleen, Elizabeth, Samantha & Evelynn and Great Nephews Thomas, Harrison, Ethan, and Jameson.
Prior to retiring, I was the Director of Accounting for Healthcare Quality Strategies, Inc in East Brunswick, NJ - working there for 28 years.
Some of my favorite things were spending time with family and square dancing. I also loved to read, garden, travel to Key West, and volunteering at CHEER Meals on Wheels, Georgetown - Robin Hood Thrift Store, Treasurer for Friends of the Georgetown Public Library and was a Life Member of Delmarva Blood Bank. Please consider giving blood, it costs you nothing and saves many lives.
I was a parishioner of St. Michael the Archangel Church in Georgetown & coordinated the CHEER Meals on Wheels program for the parish.
