Rosie Graber, 71, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, Indiana, surrounded by family. She was born on October 15, 1953, in Loogootee, Indiana.

Rosie was a wife and devoted mother. She served with strength and courage and was truly the heart and soul of her family. Her favorite hobby was gardening; she could usually be found in her flowerbeds and vegetable garden or pruning her arbors.

She is survived by her husband, Laverne Graber; five children, Jason Graber, Beverly (Anthony) Lengacher, Kevin Graber, Keith Graber, Eric (Alissa) Graber, and Marcus Graber, all of Washington, Indiana; seven grandchildren, Trenton (Cheyanne) Lengacher, Kenzi (Travis) Knepp, Kayla (Ryan) Wagler, Tanya (Vincent) Yoder, Tiffany (Trenton) Beachy, Kaleb Graber, Aria Graber, and Alyn Strange; and two great-grandchildren, Ivy Jane Wagler and Millie Jane Knepp.

She is also survived by her siblings, Rachel (Larry) Wagler, Gerald (Leona) Graber, Joyce (Marvin) Knepp, Betty (William) Knepp, and Clifford (Donna) Graber; as well as her brother-in-law, Wilmer (Bill) Knepp.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Herman and Edith (Stoll) Graber; two brothers, Raymond and James Graber; two sisters, Lillie Knepp and Shirley Graber; and two daughters, Shannon and Melinda Graber.

A Funeral Service will be held on Monday September 29, 2025, at 1:00 P.M at Fair Haven Church in Loogootee, Indiana with Jim Russell to officiate. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
