Obituary

Rosemarie I. Barnett went to be with our Lord on April 18, 2018. She is survived by her sisters, Lucille Leo and Connie Jagielski, and her two sons Mark and Stanley Barnett, and their families, including four grandchildren and five great grandsons. Rosemarie’s granddaughters are Katrina Bell and Natalie Cole. Her grandsons are Reuven and Iaasic Barnett. Rosemarie grew up in New York among four other siblings. Her parents emigrated from Sicily, Italy by way of Ellis Island in New York harbor, greeting Lady Liberty at the beginning of the 20th century. Rosemarie grew up in New York until her mid 20’s then joined the Foreign Service and left for Mexico City to embark on a new career. She met her future husband, Victor Barnett, who was completing his Latin American studies as a University of Texas graduate. They were engaged and married in Brooklyn, New York in August of 1954. Rosemarie and Victor travelled most of their lives, with Victor being in the Air Force and later with the Department of Energy. They retired in Austin, Texas. While living in San Antonio, Rosemarie studied sculpting at Trinity University and then furthered her education by studying in Florence, Italy to perfect bronze sculpting. She has created many beautiful creative pieces from the stone as well as bronze. We retain these pieces of her creativity as one characteristic of her creativity. Rosemarie knew no strangers and always had a smile, pleasant demeanor, or a hug and a kiss for those more familiar with her. She loved to entertain, and was known for her gatherings and dinner parties, she loved to cook and bake…create a nice social gathering for others. She was known for putting together great parties for friends and family, active with the Bridge Club, and Friendship Club of Austin, Texas. Both she and her husband were well known for their hospitality and social grace. She loved children and babies, and her great grandsons were her joy in her last year. We have all been blessed by Rosemarie’s touch and will miss her deeply. She is now finally with her beloved husband Victor once again. Rosemarie will be laid to rest beside her husband at Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
