I think of her often. She changed my life. I say her name out loud. Rest in peace.

Sadness in my hearth.. I was a student of Rosemary for a few years on an off in Toronto in an around 1988. She was wonderful and caring and just a great person. I often think of her and wanted to reach out and greatest regret is that i did not. Rest in peace and have fun up there . Michael Roy

I was a student of Rosemary's between 1989 and 1994 visiting her studios twice a week for instruction during a large part of that time. I have been a full time professional singer/guitarist all of my working life and her instruction quite literally saved my career, as when I approached her I was having serious vocal issues from performing with bad vocal technique. Her training and outlook on life changed me in every way for the better. My only regret is that I didn't meet her sooner in my career and that I wasn't able to train longer. Now I understand that I was still just scratching the surface of understanding what she had to offer. She was a national treasure with a personality that could light up a room. Rest in peace!

Funny I was thinking of Rosemary today, 15 years after her passing.

She was my vocal coach in the early 80’s. I remember her vividly, she was quite a character. She taught well, was sweet and kind. I still remember a lot of her coaching methods and have used them from Toronto to New York to LA to Philly. Each bit of advice she gave came slamming at me when I needed it most.

Rosemary was my vocal teacher for years, starting in 1985. — both in Etobicoke and downtown.

She was a generous and kind teacher who loved music.

I didn’t know she had passed, and wish to offer my belated condolences. I look back at those lessons with great memories. The technical skills she taught me will be with me forever. Thank you, Rosemary.

I was a student of Rosemary when at Sheridan College many many years ago. I will remember her fondly. What I will take away from her is that to learn a song is not to learn the notes but to tell the story. Rosemary herself left behind a great story for her students, one which modeled a celebration for the joy of life told with effervescence and heart. She was a sweet lady.

I did not know that Rosemary had passed away. I lost touch with her when she moved to Calgary. She was my voice coach from 1991-1994. I was blessed to be one of her students. All these many years later I am still singing, because of her encouragement. Rosemary was an amazing teacher and a wonderful human being. After a long day at work I would go to my weekly lesson. There was always a hot cup of tea and a few minutes to chat. I will always have a place in my heart for her. She was one of a kind. Rest in peace, Rosemary.

I am a former singing student of Rosemary’s, at Sheridan College. I’m doing some research on her for a blog I am writing, and this is where I discovered that she had passed. I felt I should leave a note even though it’s been 11 years, just to tell you that Rosemary was a great talent and she changed my life… I’m grateful. I have not been able to find a photo of her. I wonder if I could request a digital copy from you, for use in my article? Respectfully, Roxanne (roxannedelage.com)

Rosemary was my vocal coach in 1991-92 when she lived in Toronto near the West Mall. She was a kind, sweet and wonderful person. She helped me a lot and I will always remember her with the warmest thoughts of our talks and times together.

I have been thinking of Rosemary for a while now and wondered how she was and what happened to her. I wish I had known about her death. I would’ve come to celebrate her wonderful life. She was a magnificent woman who left a substantial impact on my life. Thank you Rosemary!
