Rosemary Overmohle - Oct. 11, 1930 - Dec. 17, 2003
Rosemary Overmohle, age 73, of Storm Lake died at her home on Wednesday, December 17, 2003.
Rosemary Koch was born at her parents’ home in Washington Township near Storm Lake, Iowa, on October 11, 1930, to Paul and Helen (Schmitt) Koch. She was a lifelong member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Storm Lake, baptized there on October 19, 1930, and confirmed on October 4, 1941.
Rosemary spent her childhood in her parents' home and attended country school for one year before enrolling at St. Mary’s School in Storm Lake, where she graduated from high school with the Class of 1948. Rosemary then graduated from St. Joseph School of Nursing in Sioux City, Iowa.
On January 15, 1953, Rosemary was united in marriage to Leo George Overmohle at St. Mary’s Church in Storm Lake. Their union was blessed with nine children: sons Michael and Robert and daughters Cindy, Susan, Laurie, Beth, Barb, Nancy and Mary. Rosemary and Leo celebrated 50 years together in January of 2003.
Rosemary worked as a surgical nurse for a number of years and served as a secretary at St. Mary’s High School from November of 1974 until her retirement on October 31, 1993. In her spare moments, she enjoyed quilting, kayaking, camping, traveling and putting together puzzles.
However, Rosemary’s most important calling was making a happy home for her family. She treasured any time she spent with family and friends, and especially with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Rosemary was a loving wife and devoted mother who was loved very much and will be missed daily.
