Press Club's only woman president dies

Akron native and North High graduate Rosemary Cozart, 65, who died Sunday, was the only woman to serve as president of the Akron Press Club.

"There should be more Rosemarys in the organization,'' said former BJ staffer Abe Zaidan, founder of the Akron Press Club who frequently appears on local cable channel's coverage of club events.

''She was the face and spokesperson" of the Red Cross for 30 years, said Red Cross director Kathy Winkler. With her flamoyant red hair, Rosemary relocated refugees and traveled to storm-ravaged areas to help survivors.
