Rosemary Barbara Erdmann was born February 3, 1925, the daughter of John and Rose (Kusser) Erdmann.  She attended school in Le Mars and graduated from St. Joseph Catholic School.

She was a member of All Saints Catholic Parish in Le Mars.  She was also a member of Catholic Daughters and Christian Mothers.  She and Arnie enjoyed wintering in Texas for several years.  They would often have been found out playing a round of golf.  They also enjoyed dancing for many years.  She enjoyed playing bridge and was in many bridge clubs through the years.

Survivors include her 4 children: Barb Robinette of Plano, TX, John Robinette of Le Mars, IA, Rose Nicoson of Le Mars, IA, and Roberta Kass of Le Mars, IA; 23 grandchildren; 53 great grandchildren; 2 great great grandchildren; a brother: Bernard (Arlene) Erdmann of Le Mars, IA; 3 sisters: Sister Rosalie Erdmann of Chicago, IL, Marie Schmitz of Le Mars, IA, and Pat (Paul) Kolhoff of Round Rock, TX; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Rosemary's greatest joy was having her house full of family and if she could be remembered for only one thing it would be her wish that each member of her family would nurture their faith in God and trust in Him to support them with love when there was pain or things got hard.  She truly believed the more you loved the more you would receive God's love through all those around you.
