Rosemary (Rosie) Smith
Area Captain for Massachusetts
"I've been a devoted TOPS member since 1967, and
all my TOPS friends call me Rosie," writes Rosemary Smith, retired Coordinator
for the state of Massachusetts. Now serving as an Area Captain.
In June 1985, Rosie became a charter member of TOPS MA 0327
Burlington, where she is still a "very active" member and has held most
chapter officer positions. She became Area Captain of Middlesex County,
Massachusetts, in June 1994. 'I've enjoyed the past 16 years visiting
chapters and feeling the warmth and friendship from all TOPS members," she
states.
A proud Century Award winner, Rosie says, "It took me 34
years to lose 111 pounds. Never give up, and believe in yourself!”
Rosie and her husband, David, celebrate their 40th wedding
anniversary this year(2010). They have a daughter, Laura, and two
granddaughters. "Our son, Bob, passed way in 2006," Rosie adds. "He is the
angel on my shoulder and forever in my heart.”
