Rest in Peace our dear friend-Rosemary Reymann-1946-2023
We are sad to say Goodbye to our former President and most enthusiastic cheerleader, Rosemary Reymann. Her life filled us all with joy, hope, kindness and love. She welcomed the world into her heart and home as she championed Global Ties Akron and the city she loved Akron, OH.
Rosemary will always be in the hearts and memories of her Global Ties Akron family. This includes the hundreds of international leaders and scholars she welcomed over the three decades she share her joie de vivre through the programs of Global Ties Akron.
