Rosemary Coe Hubbard

of Conway, AR

September 3, 1924 - April 20, 2023

Rosemary Coe Hubbard died in Conway, following a brief illness. She was born in Tuckerman, Arkansas, September 3, 1924, to Ruth Bliss Coe and Walter W. Coe. She graduated from Tuckerman High School at age 16 and immediately went to work as a librarian at the Newport Army Air Base, established during WWII.

She met a dashing pilot instructor, Lieutenant Alvin O. Hubbard (Hub), from Winterboro, Alabama. The couple wed, September 15, 1943, and began their Army Air Corp life with Hub, as a Captain, piloting his B-29 plane, ''Nosey Rosey'' on several bombing missions over Japan. Hub predeceased Rosemary in 1987.

She was also predeceased by her siblings, Roberta Biggers, Robert Coe and Margaret Ann Huckabee.

Survivors include her beloved children, Rosanne Johnson (Bill), Bill Hubbard (Betty), and Greg Hubbard (Becky). Other survivors are grandchildren, Bliss Dean (John), Jay Jennings (Allison), Jenny Carson (Adam), Ben Hubbard (Ellen), Luke Hubbard (Aly), and Reed Hubbard; great-grandchildren, Anna Bliss Dean, Megan Jennings, Andrew Dean, Ashley Jennings, Olivia and Noelle Carson as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Rosemary served as Housemother for the Pi Beta Phi Sorority at the University of Arkansas, in Fayetteville, for three years. Her Pi Phi girls loved their ''MoMo'', and she returned that love to her ''darlin angels''.

Following her retirement, she moved to Conway where she participated in several civic clubs, including Chapter E, PEO, Conway Civic League, Twentieth Century Club, and she was a founding member of the Conway Duplicate Bridge Club.

Leading an active Christian life was very important to her. She served with Stephen Ministries in the Methodist Church, and as a Christ Care Group leader and member of the chancel choir of First Presbyterian Church, before transferring her membership to Grace Presbyterian Church in 2014.
