Rosemary B. Dayton of Williamsport, Pa. died on Tuesday, Feb. 13 at We Care at Loyalsock in Montoursville, Pa. She was 95.

She was known as Posy to her family and friends.

She was born Feb. 4, 1929 in Williamsport, Pa., a daughter of the late Sylvia Berkheiser. While growing up she was an active member of St Mark’s Lutheran Church in Williamsport where she sang in the choir for 20 years. She graduated from Williamsport High School in 1946 and then worked at the Williamsport National Bank.

In 1951, she married Robert B. (Bob) Dayton. They had three children, Abby Armstrong, Elizabeth and Jeffrey Dayton, and three grandchildren, Christopher and Brett Armstrong and Jennifer Dayton.

Together Bob and Rosemary restored many historical houses wherever they lived. After retiring, they became active antiques dealers in Montoursville, Pa. and Oak Bluffs.

Her most proud accomplishment was having formed a small group of friends to save and restore the historic District Hall in Mystic, Conn. It has become the home of the Mystic River Historical Society, with more than 300 members dedicated to preserving and promoting the historical traditions of the greater Mystic area.

Rosemary was an avid reader. She also loved working crossword puzzles, collecting antiques and she was accomplished in all types of sewing.

In keeping with her wishes, services will not be held.
