Rosie I. Marquardt, age 92 of Tigerton passed away Friday, February 10, 2023, at her granddaughter’s home in the Town of Germania, Shawano County.
The former Rosie Irene Lutzewitz was born on October 24, 1930, in the Town of Dupont, Waupaca County, to Fred and Marie (Wudstrack) Lutzewitz. She was united in marriage on February 2, 1952, to Marcus Marquardt at St. John Lutheran Church, Marion. Rosie worked side-by-side with her husband on the farm for many years. He preceded her in death on September 19, 1989.
Rosie was a longtime member of Peace Lutheran Church, Split Rock. She was a busy lady, from helping on the farm, to cooking for 15-20 guys during the haying season. She enjoyed fishing on the river, shining for deer, making quilts, sewing, and scrapbooking. Rosie loved polka music, working in her flower garden, and feeding the birds. She would even take the tomato seeds out and use them the following year. Fishing at Wallace Park with Marcy, going to rummage sales, and her monthly Birthday Club with the ladies in Tigerton were a few more of her favorites.
