Rosemary C. Brogan (nee Walsh-Callagy) age 87 of Wayne passed into life eternal on Monday, January 25, 2010 at the Chilton Memorial Hospital in Pompton Plains. Her passing was quiet and peaceful with her loving family at her bedside.
She was born in Jersey City where she spent her youthful years. Rosemary received her formal education at Public Grammar School No. 11 in Jersey City and at Dickinson High School in Jersey City graduating with the Class of 1939.
She moved to Lakewood in 1981 where she lived before moving to Wayne to be near her son four years ago.
For Rosemary family was very important and she centered much of her life on being a wonderfully dedicated mother, grandmother, great grandmother and wife.
In her younger years she worked at Pennsylvania Station in New York City as an elevator operator. It was there that she met John (Jack ) Callagy who was a Police officer. They soon became a couple and married and had twenty-one years of devoted and loving marriage together until Jack’s passing in May of 1966. Her second marriage was to Joseph Brogan and together they had a “two peas in a pod” marriage until Joseph’s passing in May of 2006. Her family recalls how wonderfully Joseph took care of Rosemary and how Rosemary reciprocated with the loving wife role of being the official family decision maker.
Left to mourn this wonderful lady are her one son John Robert “Bobby” Callagy and his wife Felicia of Wayne; one cherished grandson Sean Callagy of Harrington Park, three great grandchildren Tyler, Courtney and Emma as well as her stepdaughter Linda.
