Rosemary Elizabeth Riels, passed away on February 15, 2023 in Gulfport, Mississippi. She was born on February 5, 1953 in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi to the late Horace and Margie Bennett. Rosemary was a kindhearted well-known retired grocery store owner in her community. Her unconditional love for her family and friends was unparalleled. Rosemary was also very generous and loved to help anyone that crossed her path, she would give away her last dollar if someone was in need. Her kindness and caring personality complemented her services to her community at Success Grocery. Rosemary was wise and compassionate when you got to know her heart of gold and beautiful soul. Her final wishes were to help people she would never meet, and she accomplished that by being an organ donor. She was a true heroine that gave more to the world than she ever took. Rosemary was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to many. She will be missed dearly. Rosemary is preceded by her parents, Horace and Margie Bennett; one stepchild, Craig Riels; brothers, Darrell Bennett, Gary Bennett, and Terry Bennett; and her sisters, Dorothy Bennett, Patricia Bennett, and Mary Bennett.
