Biography for

Rosemary (Ciresi) Koral

Although Rosemary didn't graduate with the Brecksville class of 1961, she had many ties over the years with previous classmates. She attended Brecksville until ninth grade when she went to Lourdes Academy High School and then the Cleveland Institute of Art. She was a stay-at-home mom for twenty plus years, raising her four daughters, until 1987 when she went to work at Equifax for six years as an investigator. Then she was recruited by Ernst & Young where she handled various investigations and she is still there as an Assistant Director in their General Counsel Office/Investigations Group.

Rosemary has been married to her husband, Timothy, for 45 years and they have four daughters and five grandchildren. For several years she was involved with local and state politics with her husband. She was active in several parental activities with her children's school such as PTA, serving as their room mother, and helping test children for eye problems including amblyopia; and she was also involved with their Brownie and Girl Scout troops. She worked closely with the Society for the Blind for several years and for the last 11 years she has been the Team Captain at Ernst & Young for the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure.

Her appreciation for modern art has led to her visiting museums and galleries. She also enjoys gardening; renovating her home; attending her grandchildren's basketball, volleyball, and football games; and traveling, having gone to Tahiti and throughout the U.S., but her family's favorite vacations have been spent at Hilton Head.
