She married Melvin Kosharek on June 25, 1947. They were united in a 'triple wedding' that consisted of three Grimms and three Koshareks. The couple farmed in Castle Rock Township, and Mary held several jobs off the farm: Badger Ammunition, Boscobel Transformer and Lands' End before retiring.
Mary was a member of SS. Anthony & Philip Parish and Alter Society. She was also a member of Highland EMS for 6 years. Her greatest joy was spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mary always welcomed a houseful of love, laughter and good food.
She was preceded in death by her husband Melvin; her parents, William and Elizabeth Grimm; in-laws, Aldro and Christine Kosharek; brothers, Bernard (Ann) and Ronald (Martha an Cecilia) Grimm; sister, Evelyn (Laverne) Kosharek; sisters-in-law, Jean (Ray) Michek, Camilla (Richard) Ford; brothers-in-law, Aldro Jr. (Betty), Virgil (Rosie) and Donald (Mary) Kosharek; and son-in-law, John Bosch.
Mary is survived by her sons: Patrick (Susan) of Wisconsin Rapids, and their children Jessamyn (Chad) and Gillian (Sascha); Daniel (Kristina) of Santa Fe, NM, and their children Odessa (Santigo), Hanna (Kelvin) and Tantri; and Jim (Linda) of Muscoda, and their children Ben and Wade; daughters: Cheryl Bosch of Highland, and her children Heidi (Craig), Minda (Mark), Bill (Traci) and Jackie (Kevin); and Teresa (Terry) Bomkamp of Highland, and their children Justin (Colleen), Lindsey (Jake) and Michael (Sarah); 27 great-grandchildren that she adored; as well as many nieces and nephews.
