Rosemary Petranech

Rosemary and I shared a significant moment in history - she was my 5th grade teacher at St. Anne´s school on the day President Kennedy was assassinated. We crossed paths years later when I was a student at Marquette. My condolences to her friends and family.

Rosemary and I shared many happy memories as members of the Marquette Players. When you wanted something done, you went to Rosemary. But the nicest thing was that we stayed in touch until she passed away. My daughter lives in Milwaukee and every time I paid a visit, Rosemary picked me up and we would go to lunch or she would just drive around the beautiful area outside of town. She had a great sense of humor and did not suffer fools badly.

Rosemary shared so much family history with me. So saddened to hear that she's left us.
To the Petranech family: and

Dear Rose was my friend for over 50 years. We were just talking about it a month ago, neither of us knowing how old we were. I loved her, my family loved her she adored my Grandson Alexander because he was like her: find a topic, take a position, do your homework and talk the topic to death righteously. Rose, however, could then laugh about the argument.
Since her knee work, she found it a day trip to drive from her apartment to our house and so she missed some holiday parties. For years...
