During this time, Rosemarie enjoyed doing pottery and learning photography.
In 1978 she married Fred Horn and moved to Spirit River, where she helped Fred with his real estate business and sold Tupperware. In the summer of 1982, they made the move to West Kelowna where she continued to help Fred with his real estate career.

Rosemarie’s favourite things were packing up their little motorhome with Fred and going on their circuit to visit their kids and grandkids, and also having family to come visit them at their vacation property at Holiday Park near Winfield.
When she moved to Westwood Retirement Resort, she enjoyed entertaining her fellow residents by hosting sing-alongs.
Family was her greatest treasure. She loved every one of the kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and nieces and nephews. They brightened every moment of her days.
