It is with great sadness that the family of Rosemary (Henderson) Marks announces her passing on January 21, 2021. Although Rosemary struggled with dementia in her later years, she maintained her high level of energy, empathy, and amazing sense of humor until recently, when she passed away from Covid-19.
Rosemary (Henderson) Marks was Canada's Junior Ladies Champion in 1952, then went on to skate for Ice Capades from 1953 to 1957 . She initially skated under wing with Donna Atwood, and later took over lead role when Donna retired in 1956.
