Rosemary Lindquist Obituary

Rosemary Lindquist

Rosemary (Frymark) Lindquist, 76, died Monday, January 28, 2013 in Pewaukee, following a lengthy and brave battle with Alzheimers. Rosemary was born on February 11, 1936 in Stevens Point to the late Eva and Joseph Frymark, Sr. She attended St. Peter's Elementary School and graduated from St. Joseph's Academy in 1954. She was united in marriage to Norman Lindquist on November 19, 1960 at St. Peter's Catholic Church. Norm preceded her in death on May 25, 2000.

As a teenager, Rosemary worked for Fisher's Dairy and after graduation became a telephone operator with the Wisconsin Telephone Company. In addition to her role as a homemaker and mother, Rosemary worked for Horgan's Answering Service and as a receptionist for Drs. Stanley and Jim Miller.

Rosemary will be remembered as a loving and compassionate woman with a wonderful sense of humor, who delighted family and friends with her wonderful cooking, baking and knitting skills. Everyone was welcome in the Lindquist home and there was always room for one more for dinner and a game of Yahtzee to follow. Her happiest moments were those shared with her husband, children and grandchildren.

Survivors include one son, Neal (Linda) Lindquist, Sussex; three daughters, Lori (Brian) Phillips, Pewaukee, Karen (Jim) Braum, Kenosha, and Jodi Lindquist, Neenah; ten grandchildren, Jennifer, Nicole, Matthew and Elizabeth Lindquist; Sophia, Samuel, Henry and Cecelia Phillips; and Eric and Kevin Braum; mother-in-law Hulda Lindquist, Waupaca; brothers and sisters-in-law, Linde (Lee) Bergman, Nelsonville, Edythe Rae Lindquist, Amherst, Richard (Darlene) Lindquist, Newnan, GA, and Diana (Charlie) Olsen, Neenah; cousins Myron "Bill" (Jayne) Paukert, Jr. and Frank (Linda) Paukert; dear family friends, Gerrie Quimby and Vicky Knigge; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

Rosemary was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brother, Joseph Frymark, Jr., godparents Sophia and Myron Paukert Sr., sister-in-law Carol Frymark and brother-in-law Glenn Lindquist.

In addition to a brief memorial service at Kirkland Crossings (Pewaukee) to be held on February 8, at 1:00 pm. Funeral services and interment for Rosemary will be held in Stevens Point at a yet to be determined date in Spring 2013. Those arrangements will be announced in the Stevens Point Journal and the Portage County Gazette at a later date. The family asks you to bring along your favorite memories of Rosemary which will be gathered and shared at the Spring 2013 service.

Rosemary's family would like to thank the staff of Kirkland Crossings and Seasons Hospice for their loving and compassionate care of Rosemary. You will never know what a difference you made in our lives as we made our way through these past difficult years. Memorial gifts may be sent to Kirkland Crossings, Attn: Deb Bayee, 700 Quinlan Drive, Pewaukee, WI 53072.

Rosemary was a classmate of mine at St Joseph Academy. She was always pleasant and fun to be with then and as the years passed by. I'll remember her fondly.

Jodi,

My sincere sympathy to you and your family. I know you spoke of her often and loved her very much...her obituary shares what a lovely person she was and now she will live on in your memories. May God grant each of you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Rosemary was a sweet and gentle person. The photos I added were taken at the convent on May 12, 1947 when she visited the day she received her First Communion. My parents were Dave and Zita Kozikoski. We loved your Mom and Grandma.

Neal, Lori, Karen, Jodi and families,
You have my deepest sympathy. I have some fond memories of your mother/grandmother. She was always so kind and cheerful when I met up with her. My mom told me how she used to bake homemade bread, and I sometimes think of her when I bake my own. My mother-in-law, who also lived on Peck St., passed away this past September from Alzheimer's disease, so I know how difficult it probably was for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I grew up with Rosemary on the North Side. She was a year behind me in school, but we walked to St. Peter's School together and were early friends..
I can only think of positives about Rosemary. She was always pleasant and kind. I can imagine she grew to be a wonderful mother and grandmother. I am happy to remember that she touched my life!

Dear Neal, Lori, Jodi and Karen,I am so very sorry for your loss. Your Mom (my Auntie) always had a very special place in my heart, I loved her so much! I have some very fond memories of her and still get a smile on my face when I think of them. She had a "heart of gold". I miss you Auntie Rosemary!
