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.
A visitation will begin at 1:00pm, followed by a memorial service at 2:00pm, on Saturday, May 6, 2023 at Grace Presbyterian Church, Conway, Arkansas.
The family requests that memorial gifts be given to the building fund at Grace Presbyterian Church, 1010 Hogan Road, Conway, Arkansas 72034 or by on-line giving to gracepresconway.org.

Rosemary had such a great personality, funny, caring and so loving. It was such an honor to care for her and walk this journey with her, as well as her children. She has forever placed a mark on my heart.

Rox and family.
MoMo was a beautiful lady inside and out.
She loved her family, and was so proud of each and everyone. She loved sharing stories of her life in Tuckerman, being a house mom at the sorority house, and playing bridge.
Everyone will miss MoMo.
