Rosemary Sanko, originally a Hodgeman County girl, moved to Great Bend 65 years ago to open Sanko’s Service with her husband. Today she keeps her mind young reading current magazines, books, and newspapers. Rosemary is in splendid health, eats most anything she wants, and is a faithful church-goer. She enjoys spending time with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, working in her yard, keeping her home tidy, watching Gunsmoke, and driving herself to her Friday hair appointment.

Several months of family events will extend her birthday celebration to make it memorable. In Rosemary’s own words, “I very much look forward to celebrating my 39th birthday in style during the coming months.” Her friends and family are certain the best years of Rosemary’s life are still to come.
