Rosemary T. Rimmer

RAVENA- Rosemary Thomas (Caruso) Rimmer, 83, passed away April 8th, 2026. She was born on August 20, 1942 to Sara (Piazza) Caruso and Anthony Caruso in Albany, NY.

In 1958, Rosemary met Bill at St. John’s High School. The couple married in 1963 and went on to have four children- Bill, Stacey, Kara, and Mike.

Rosemary worked as a crossing guard until her children went off to school. She then worked at Albany City Hall in vital statistics. Above all, her most important titles were mother and grandmother. When she retired, she cared for her grandchildren until school age and on summer breaks.
