Rosemary Maier, 84 – a lifelong resident of Haubstadt – passed away at Charier Hospice Center in Evansville early Tuesday morning, Jan. 29.

She was born the daughter of Theodore Maurer and Theresa Hoefling Maurer of Haubstadt.

Rosemary devoted her life to faith, family, and friends.  Like her late husband, Virgil, she enjoyed giving back to the Haubstadt community and the Catholic Church.

To the many whose days were made by her love and friendship, Rosemary will be remembered for her generous nature, warm smile, and can-do spirit. In her retirement years, she especially enjoyed her time with grand children, great-grandchildren and quilting. With her quilting team of friends she enjoyed crafting intricate quilts for the annual Sts. Peter & Paul Die Kirche Auktion, and seeing them fetch handsome bids on behalf of the parish.

At Sts. Peter & Paul, Rosemary was active in the Daughters of Isabella and the Parish Altar Society.

After raising a family of three daughters and two sons, Rosemary returned to school and earned a BA in Liberal Studies from the University of Evansville. She spent a two- decade career in the Purchasing and Production Scheduling Departments at Potter & Brumfield, Princeton, IN.
