Rosalie Bennett Treworgy passed away on Feb. 24, 2015. She grew up in Decatur, Ill., and graduated from Principia College in Elsah, Ill. She took flying lessons while in high school, and later continued these once her children were grown up.

She married Foster Lee Treworgy of Brunswick, Maine, where they eventually settled. When they were first married, she taught nursery school in Elsah, Ill., and then elementary school in Jerseyville, Ill.

After relocating to the Brunswick/Harpswell area, Rosalie brought up two children; helped organize The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Brunswick; operated a nursery school; did bookkeeping from home for the Treworgy Furniture Company; was active in Girl Scouts, The League of Women Voters, Brunswick Junior High School PTA and a local contract bridge club.

She and Foster learned to scuba dive through the Brunswick Sea Lions, enabling them to take skin diving vacations. They also enrolled in Brunswick Power Squadron courses and sailed along the Maine coast. In her later years, they avoided the Maine winters by traveling in their RV, visiting family and friends, and wintering in California.

For many years, Rosalie was a Christian Science practitioner and helped people through prayer to experience healing of physical and personal problems. She wrote numerous articles on her spiritual practice that were published in the Christian Science Journal and Christian Science Sentinel magazines.

Although she grew up in Illinois, she felt Maine was her home. She is dearly loved by her family: daughter Robin Born in Marblehead, MA, son Colin and daughter-in-law Janis Treworgy in Grafton, IL, granddaughter Amber Born in Marblehead, MA, granddaughter Bonnie Treworgy in Buena Vista, CO, and grandson Eric Treworgy in Los Angeles, CA.
