It is with sadness that we share the news of the passing of retired 4-H Educator, Rosemarie Syme.

Rosemarie began her career with UConn 4-H in 1981 and served the Hartford County and Tolland County 4-H Programs through 2009. Rosemarie's contributions to UConn 4-H have left lasting impressions on the thousands of youth, volunteers and colleagues that she worked with during her career. We are grateful for the contributions Rosemarie made to the UConn 4-H program. The UConn 4-H family extends our condolences to her family.
