Rosemary M Willis

Rosemary M Willis, 42, of Upstate South Carolina, passed away peacefully on November 2, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family and friends.

Born in Sanford, Florida, on November 27, 1982, Rosemary—affectionately known as “Rose”—brought warmth and laughter to everyone she met. She moved to South Carolina as a young child and later married the love of her life, Clay Bracken. Together, they shared 25 wonderful years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Rosemary will be remembered for her kindness, humor, and creativity. She loved books, video games, and her beloved cats, all of which reflected her curious and gentle spirit. A devoted wife, daughter, sister, and aunt, she brought joy to all who knew her—especially her nieces and nephews, whose faces always lit up when their Aunt Rose was near.

She is survived by her husband, Clay Bracken; her mother, Kathryn Willis; and her siblings, William, John, Michael, Doug, and Pauline.

A private celebration of life will be held on November 9, 2025, for family and close friends to honor Rosemary’s memory and the love she shared so freely.
