Rose Mary inherited a nice Arizona home from her mother.
Rosemary's Inheritance Details
Rose Mary, mother to Jeannette, received a significant inheritance from her own mother when Jeannette was eight years old. This inheritance was specifically described as a nice Arizona home. This acquisition marked a temporary period of stability for the family.
Impact of the Inheritance
Despite the initial promise of the inherited property, its positive impact on the family's financial situation was short-lived. Rose Mary's tendency towards extravagant art supply purchases combined with Rex's carousing quickly depleted the family's resources. As a result, they soon found themselves back in dire straits, leading them to move from Arizona to a dismal mining town in West Virginia, where Rex had grown up. The inheritance, therefore, provided only a brief reprieve from their ongoing financial struggles.
