Rosemary Barrientos-Irigoyen

Phil Hubble, colleague. Rosemary and I shared many years in the Student Services Department at Memorial, and she became “muy amiga mía” during that time. I came to value the warm, gentle person who invited students, staff, and parents to trust her, alongside the firm professional who could tell the truth to those same people without hesitation so that they had no choice but to consider what she had said. Rosemary’s touch has changed many souls for the better. Un abrazo de parte de Felipe

I had the pleasure of working with Rosemary & Enzo at Van Hise Elementary School coordinating their International Night program. She and Enzo were always willing to volunteer their time and their talents. I will always remember her beautiful warmth, kind heart, dancing in breathtaking outfits and her joy. Thank you for stepping up year after year without hesitation. Enzo & family, my deepest condolences. May her loving memories & knowing how much she made this world better ease your pain. Rest in peace beautiful lady.

Wherever you are now, Rosemary, I wish you peace. You endured a tough battle and now you are resting. I am glad I got to know you and shared beautiful times dancing, celebrating, and creating a group together that brought immense joy to each one of us. Our dance troupe also brought diversity to our society by sharing your Bolivian roots. You are greatly missed by the Tiawanakas. Rest in peace, amiga.

I had the absolute pleasure of working in the Pupil Services Staff at Memorial High School shortly before my retirement. She was a wonderful colleague and an exceptional school social worker. Her kindness, warmth and creativity stood out and benefited those working with her. She will be missed but her impact on families and students remembered far into the future. My best to her family and many friends.
