Cecelia Rose “Rosie” Damuth, age 76, entered into heaven on September 24, 2012 with a smile on her face. Rosie was born on October 17, 1935 in Graceham, MD, the youngest of five girls born to William R. Green and Hazel May Zentz. She graduated from Thurmont High in 1953 and attended a business college in Washington, DC. She worked for Moore Business Forms in Thurmont, MD where she retired. She went on to work at various businesses in Maryland and Montana until she was 73.
She married Brooke J. Damuth on July 31, 1962 in Wayne, Michigan. In 1969 Rosie gave birth to her pride and joy, Kevin. They spent the majority of their life together in Maryland raising their son and serving their community to include women organizations, church and the volunteer fire department until Brooke’s death in 2002.
In 2003 she moved to Montana to be with her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters Carly and Kayla. She loved attending their soccer games, traveling, dancing, singing on the choir and spending time with her family. She loved to serve others and spent a lot of time in the kitchen baking for family, friends and strangers.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and two sisters, Mae Monn and Mary Charlotte Springer. She is survived by her son Kevin Damuth (Monique), two granddaughters, Kayla and Carly, and two sisters, Clara Green and Alice Kennedy.

I have a lot of fond memories of Rosie especially during the time that she worked for dad at the Texaco office. She was like a member of our family. She always had a smile on her face even when she was upset with someone. She actually sang at my wedding! Dad has alzeheimers also and would not understand if I told him about Rosie, but I know he would have a lot of good stories about her.

I worked at Country Life when Rosie was there. She was such a lovely women and always would sing for us. I remember it was Easter and she wanted to help out with the party. She said she would come up with a few songs to sing. I agreed to that. Time came to sing and she had chosen silent night because she said we should all no the words. We all sang ! We had a good laugh and a good time. I’m truley sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you!
