Rosemary was born in New Orleans, LA, on July 5, 1946, to the late Rosalie Palazzolo Hannan and Frank T. Hannan Sr. Rosemary loved trips to the casino and going out to play Bingo. She enjoyed shopping, loved jewelry, and collected birds as a hobby. The love she felt for her children and grandchildren was undeniable, and everyone lucky enough to know her instantly fell in love with her beautiful smile, and huge heart. Everyone admired her feisty personality, and took comfort in her caring and loving ways. She loved to sing, and because of her contagious smile and friendliness, could capture the attention of anyone in a room. She was much loved by all and will never be forgotten. The family would like to pay special thanks to Heritage Manor of Slidell, especially her primary caregivers, Stacey LaBauve and Brittany Schaeffer, as well as to the staff of St. Catherine’s Hospice, especially Nicole and Lynne, for their loving care and support of Rosemary in her final days. Family and friends attended a memorial gathering and mass for Rosemary at Our Lady Of Prompt Succor Church, 2320 Paris Rd., in Chalmette on Tuesday, June 4, 2019. She was laid to rest in Greenwood Cemetery, in New Orleans.
