Rosemarie Wickett, age 61, peacefully left this world and joined her Lord and Savior early in the morning on Sunday, December 6, 2020.

Rosemarie was born to Walter and Ilse Niemann on May 13, 1959 in Dallas, TX. She grew up in Garland, TX with her three sisters and graduated South Garland High School in 1977. She then moved to Pottsboro, TX where she lived for 43 years. Rosemarie had a career at Texas Instruments/Raytheon for 42 years. She worked as a Production Specialist within the RPM Rapid Production Factory in McKinney.

Rosemarie was hard working and loved a challenge. She was the happiest when she was outside working on a project or surrounded by her friends and family. She loved the wind blowing through her hair, driving around in her Jeep, dancing and listening to music. She meticulously cared for her yard. She made many memories traveling the country with friends and family. She attended every family occasion, and she was always the life of the party. Rosemarie could always make you laugh, and her positive personality was contagious. She was very caring and giving to anyone she met. Anyone who ever met her felt right at home. She took great pride in being a sister, sister-in-law, an aunt, and a great-aunt and loved being in the company of her sisters, brother in-laws, nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews.

Rosemarie was preceded in death by her parents. Rosemarie is survived by her sisters Regina Smith and her husband Scott, Carola Carroll and her husband Jim, and Susie Stephens and her husband Keith, all of Wylie.

A funeral service will be held on Friday, December 11 at 1:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Wylie. The church is located at 100 N First Street, Wylie, TX 75098. The service will be held in the sanctuary.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me,

Please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my name,

And took me by the hand.

The angel said my place was ready,

In heaven far above,

And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

But when I walked through Heaven's Gates,

I felt so much at home,

When God looked down and smiled at me and told me;

"Welcome Home." So when tomorrow starts without me,

Don't think we're far apart.

For every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart.
