Rosemary (Posy)Shuster
Born April, 1929 to G. Mortimer (Mort) and Catharine (Kitty) Peck Roberts in Grand Rapids, MI.
Posy was a devoted and loving wife to Richard (Dick) Shuster and loving mother to children Sally (Greg) Shoff, Catharine (Katy) (PJ)McNamara and James (Jim) (Bonny)Shuster and Omi to grandchildren Kaleigh and Nick Shuster, Alex and Richard (Rocky) McNamara.
Posy graduated from East Grand Rapids High School. She then attended University of Colorado at Boulder for 2 years, where she competed in swimming. She graduated from Michigan State University with a bachelors degree in home economics, specializing in retail merchandizing.

Posy moved to Hastings with Dick and Sally in 1957. She was active in the community in Women's club, Committee of 33, Charlton Park, Michigan Nature Association, Barry Community Foundation and Hastings H.S. athletics as a volleyball coach, referee and encouraging parent. She was active as a Bluebirds and 4H leader, starting new clubs such as horticulture, gourmet cooking and electrical engineering for girls.
According to her son Jim, she served as domestic engineer, child sanitation management and officer of discipline. She taught by example that " without the courage of your convictions you would be a kitchen bitcher." She believed that to be a character to be remembered was a far more interesting life.
She loved to camp and travel with her family, every trip had an educational experience. She was an excellent seamstress, sewing clothes for her self and daughters. Posy's artistic side can be seen in their home were she white washed all the ceiling boards to the working walk- in fireplace that she designed.
She served as a second Mom to her kids friends, providing a place for the country kids to hang, coaching free throws and " keeping everyone in line" . She taught us all that to not care would yield a like result.
She is survived by her husband, children and grand children, cousins, niece and nephews.
The family would like to thank everyone for their love and support.
A memorial and celebration of life will be held at a future date.
