Rosemary Curtis Neider

1950-2015

Rosemary Curtis Neider passed away January 8, 2015 in the arms of her sweetheart from causes of recurrent breast cancer. 

She was born January 17, 1950 to Marvin R. and Carrol Romney Curtis, the first of seven children.

Neider while attending Brigham Young University, where she later graduated in 1972 with a B.A. in Elementary Education. 

Rosemary's gifts were building others and helping them see their true potential as children of God. She was a masterful teacher.  Her compassionate service , testimony of the living Christ, and love for sharing the gospel are her lasting legacy.  Her final three years were joyfully spent with her husband in the Nevada Las Vegas Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
