Rosemary Klapperich

Rosemary Klapperich, age 86, of Austin was called home to the Lord, Wednesday, May 22, 2019. Rosemary was born June 11, 1932. She grew up on the family farm just miles from town. She was united in marriage to Raymond Klapperich at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Meyer. They moved to Austin and raised their family. Rosemary’s children describe their mom as extraordinary, that is an understatement. Surprising them with her cooking and baking, calling and checking in on them and later babysitting the grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her faith sustained her, a Rosary and prayer book always near with notes on friends and family in need of prayer. Left to Cherish her memory are, children; James Klapperich, Austin, Ruth (Ed) Arons, Austin, Nancy (Robert) Herron, LeSuer, William Klapperich, Austin, Tom (Penny) Klapperich, Austin, Kelly (Mike) Engh, Woodbury, Austin; 12 grandchildren; 13 great grandchildren; sister Helen Kresbsbach. Awaiting her in Heaven; her husband Raymond “Peachy”; brothers Gerald and Oswald; sisters, Carol Osmundson and Alice Mullenbach; great grandson, Nathan Dorsey. The family wishes to thank the ER and ICU Staff at St. Mary’s Hospital, Rochester for the loving care they showed our family during this difficult time. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 am on Saturday, May 25, 2019 at St. Edward’s Catholic Church in Austin with Father James Steffes officiating. Friends may call 4-6 pm on Friday, May 24 at Mayer Funeral Home and one hour prior to the services on Saturday. Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery.
