Clooney lived for many years in Beverly Hills, California, in the house formerly owned by [[George Gershwin|George]] and [[Ira Gershwin]] at 1019 North Roxbury Drive. It was sold to a developer after her death in 2002, and has since been demolished. In 1980, she purchased a second home on Riverside Drive in [[Augusta, Kentucky]], near Maysville, her childhood hometown. Today, the Augusta house serves as a [[historic house museum]], allowing visitors to view collections of her personal items and memorabilia from many of her films and singing performances.  Clooney also maintained an apartment in the early 1960s at the Winslow Hotel on Madison Avenue (now demolished).{{Citation needed |date=June 2024}} 

In 2003, Rosemary Clooney was inducted into the [[Kentucky Women Remembered]] exhibit, and her portrait by Alison Lyne is on permanent display in the [[Kentucky State Capitol]]'s rotunda.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lyneart.com/KYWOMEN3.HTM |title=Lyne Kentucky Women Remembered 2003 |publisher=Alison Davis Lyne |website=lyneart.com |access-date=December 13, 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20131214035548/http://www.lyneart.com/KYWOMEN3.HTM |archive-date=December 14, 2013 |url-status=live  }}</ref>

Also in 2003, [[Bette Midler]], after many years apart, rejoined forces with Barry Manilow to record ''[[Bette Midler Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook]]''. The album was an instant success, being certified gold by [[Recording Industry Association of America]]. One of the songbook selections, "This Ole House", became Midler's first [[Christian radio]] single shipped by Rick Hendrix and his positive music movement. The album was nominated for a [[Grammy Award|Grammy]] the following year.{{Citation needed |date=June 2024}} 

In 2005, the album ''[[Reflections of Rosemary]]'' by [[Debby Boone]] was released. Boone, who was Clooney's daughter-in-law, intended the album to be a musical portrait of Clooney, or as Boone put it: "I wanted to select songs that would give an insight into Rosemary from a family perspective".<ref name="clooney">{{cite web|url=http://www.rosemaryclooney.com/debbyboone/|title=Debby Boone's Reflections of Rosemary|publisher=rosemaryclooney.com|access-date=November 28, 2011}}</ref>

In September 2007, a mural honoring moments from her life was painted in downtown Maysville; it highlights the 1953 premiere of ''The Stars Are Singing'' and her singing career. It was painted by [[Louisiana]] muralists [[Robert Dafford]], [[Herb Roe]], and Brett Chigoy as part of the [[Maysville, Kentucky#Maysville Murals|Maysville Floodwall Murals]] project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cityofmaysville.com/tourism/floodwall%20murals.html |title=Maysville Floodwall Mural Project |access-date=March 28, 2010 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100228085421/http://www.cityofmaysville.com/tourism/floodwall%20murals.html |archive-date=February 28, 2010 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM6QT6_Rosemary_Clooney_Mural_Maysville_KY|title=Rosemary Clooney Mural – Maysville, KY|access-date=March 23, 2010}}</ref> Her brother Nick Clooney spoke during the dedication for the mural, explaining various images to the crowd.<ref>{{Cite news|title=The Pointer Sisters make excitement in Maysville|author=Misty Maynard|date=September 30, 2007|work=The Ledger Independent|url=http://www.maysville-online.com/news/article_17addc6d-dc69-5e93-b561-4e68fc3a217e.html|access-date=March 31, 2010|archive-date=January 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160115102641/http://www.maysville-online.com/news/article_17addc6d-dc69-5e93-b561-4e68fc3a217e.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
