| 4918 |  | Obituary- Dancer, Rosemary Rosemary Dancer 1931 - 2011 A quiet lady slipped her earthly bonds and with grace went to a better life with our heavenly father. Rosemary Dancer was born November 25, 1931 in Junction City, Kansas to Ed and Katherine Lambert, who were later divorced. She spent her early childhood years with her Mother but lost her at the age of eight. Rosemary then returned to live with her Father. She graduated from Rossville High School in Rossville, Kansas, and then attended Business College in Topeka, Kansas where she started her career with a local bank. She moved to Coffeyville, Kansas during the mid-fifties, working for Parkersburg Rig and Reel. While in Coffeyville she met and later married Jack Dancer, a marriage lasting for 53 years. She is survived by her husband, Jack; daughters, Dana Dancer, Boise, Julie Walker, Meridian (husband Duane and sons Ethan and Eric Walker), and son Rick Dancer, Gilbert, Arizona (son Brian Aragon, daughters Dasia Dancer and Jacque McMurry and her husband Shawn McMurry). Rosemary returned to the banking world in Winfield, Kansas aiding her husband to finish college. They returned to Coffeyville where she became, as she most wanted to be, a full time mother and housewife. However, in 1984 she became Jack's business partner in a financial services agency. She said she would give him ten years but stayed for twelve. During this time she enjoyed traveling to many parts of the United States and the world. Rosemary gained a great reputation for her integrity and correctness in the money affairs of their agency. A major dispute was settled with an influential company by a third party stating "just pay what Rosemary says you owe". After her retirement she returned to her first love as mother, grandmother and wife, working in her yard and caring for her home. She continued to enjoy travel with the El Korah Nomads, visiting friends and relatives, and other special trips in their travel trailer. A beautiful lady both inside and out, she will be sorely missed. Memorial services are planned for Saturday, April 23 at All Saints Episcopal Church, 704 S. Latah, Boise, Id 83705 at 1:00pm, with Reverend Holladay Sanderson presiding.
