Obituary

Rosemary, affectionately known to her family and friends as ""Rosie, lived in Pasadena, San Marino and Newport Beach, CA before moving to Oregon in 1994, specifically Charbonneau in Wilsonville. In addition to being a very loving mother and wife, she spent many philanthropic years giving back to her community. Rosie was president of the Pasadena Planned Parenthood, the Crown Guild of the Pasadena Crippled Childrens' Society and a member of the Pasadena Jr. Philharmonic. Rosie was the consummate party planner and entertained thousands, whether it was a small cocktail party or lavish political event. She will be ""tattooed""on so many lives she touched. Most recently, as she did for fifty plus years, Rosie enjoyed playing bridge with her many dear friends and held no prisoners when playing cards with her family during the thirty plus years while vacationing in Neskowin. She attended Westridge School and Mills College. Rosie was the daughter of the late Richard and Ruth Millar of Pasadena, and is survived by her loving children Jennifer Marie Miller of Tigard, Robert E. DeRienzo of Lake Oswego and Peter King of Los Angeles. She is also survived by her precious grandchildren Alison DeRienzo Boekenoogen, Nicholas DeRienzo, Patrick Miller and Courtney Miller, all residents of Oregon. Additionally, she is survived by her daughter-in-law Kimberly Vaughan DeRienzo and grandson-in-law Joey Boekenoogen. Rosie married Robert N. DeRienzo in 1957 and divorced in 1996. Her companion of the last twelve years, Dr. Colin Sinclair of Wilsonville, brought many years of joy during her ""golden"" years and for that we are very grateful. Her wishes were to be cremated and her ashes spread at Neskowin Beach. No services will be held at her request with a Celebration of Life to be held at a later date. Ultimately, Rosie ""did it her way!""
