Rosemary Byrne Co-founder of Byrne Electrical Specialists

Mom’s just get it done. In Byrne’s early years, along with raising the children, cleaning the house and making meals, Rosemary cut wire, installed terminals, assembled parts, kept the books, made deliveries – and worked two days weekly as a registered nurse. Today, Rosemary still acts as a professional mom of sorts. She’s the one who plans the parties. Coddles grandchildren. Surprises long-time workers with trips and gifts. Singles out by name those responsible for Byrne’s successes. Hands out the bonus checks every quarter. And it’s Rosemary who watches out for husband Norm in all the ways no one else might dare. Though of Irish extract, it turns out he’s not exactly a talented tenor. Or bass. “He sings so poorly,” says Rosemary, “I had to ask him to stop, even in church.”
