Rosemary Krause Obituary
Menomonee Falls - died on September 20, 2019, at the age of 87 years.
Beloved wife and best friend of the late James. Loving mother of James M. (Holly), David (Dawn), Mary Beth Krause, and Susan (Mike) Miller. Treasured grandmother "Grammy" of Sarah (Joe) Martis, James (Kristin), Thomas T.J., Hailey Krause, and Madeline, Kevin, and Christopher Miller. Cherished great grandmother of Franklin and Evelyn Martis. Dear sister of Terrence (Karen) and Patrick (Teri) O'Brien.
Preceded in death by her son Thomas John, parents Harold and Rose O'Brien (nee Haramy) and brothers James and Richard O'Brien.
Rosemary was the proud co-owner of Wauwatosa Day Care and Learning Centers for 45 years. She had a love for children and provided them a place to be creative and thrive.
She enjoyed the family condo in Door County for many years with family and friends. She was an avid sports fan and loved keeping up with her Wisconsin teams.
Rosemary got so much joy in seeing others enjoy. She believed that the center of the family was to break bread together around a table and share stories and conversation.

Our deepest sympathies on the loss of such a sweet woman. We loved having her next door to us in Sister Bay, and I will treasure that last chat that I had with her on the back patio this summer! We're going to miss her. ❤
