Rosemary Zuniga, 41, passed away Friday July 17, 2015 at Bryan East Medical Center in Lincoln, Nebraska.

She was born November 16, 1973 in Lincoln, Nebraska to Jose and Mickie (Gariboy) Zuniga.

Rosemary went to Alliance High School but became a mother at an early age and received her GED in 1995.  Rosemary became a stay at home mom to raise her daughters. She later attended Kaplan University in 2005 to become a nurse but had a change of interest and decided to have her own catering business.

Music, cooking, cosmetology and spending time with her family and friends were Rosemary’s favorite pastimes. She gave the room life when she would walk in with her smile and laugh. Rosemary will be truly missed and remembered for the bright spirit she had in her. She loved and cared for everyone. Rosemary always saw the good in people when everyone else didn’t. She was very caring and willing to help when she could.

She is survived by her two daughters, Micaela Adam of Omaha and Brittney Sanchez of Lincoln; her parents, Jose and Mickie Zuniga of Alliance; and her brothers, Gerardo (Irene) Zuniga and Reynaldo (Vanessa) Zuniga of Alliance.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Jose Zuniga, Alta Gracia Valdez, Pedro Gariboy and Henya Ocha, her uncles, Victor Garivay, Reynaldo Zuniga and Raul Zuniga, and her aunt, Maria Avila.
