Rosemary Holliday and her two teenage daughters, 15-year-old Jamie and 16-year-old Kimberly were shot to death on Wednesday, December 31, 2004, in their home at 6212 S.W. Promenade Lane, east of Lake Contrary. Rosemary had a close relationship with Mr. Eric C. Ambrozi, a business partner of Daddy-O's, a South Side bar and grill formerly known as The Bucket Shoppe. Rosemary met Ambrozi when she worked there as a kitchen manager. She tried to break the relationship off, but he wouldn't accept that. He broke into Rosemary's home and shot her and her two daughters, set fire to the trailer home, and then shot himself, taking his own life.
Rosemary was born in St. Joseph on June 18, 1962. She attended Benton High School and was a Christian.
Ms. Holliday was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Mary Ruth (Woolridge) Holliday.
Survivors: three brothers, John and Kevin Holliday, both of St. Joseph, Mo., and Eugene Holliday of southern Missouri; two sisters, Tammy Cunningham of St. Joseph, Mo., and Nancy McGuire of Unionville, Mo.; and several nieces and nephews.
I knew Rosemary most of my life. Her family were friends with my family. Rosemary will always have a special place in my heart. She had a difficult life, but I always knew that there was great beauty in her heart; it always shined through. I can think of many times when Rosemary made me smile on a cloudy day. She was accepting of and kind to others. And I'm so sorry that this happened to her and her daughters. If anyone deserved happiness in this world, it was Rosemary.
