Rose Mary Fromm, the daughter of John and Agnes (Neid) Fromm, was born on January 29, 1941, in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota. She attended school and graduated from St. Mary’s High School in 1959. Following graduation, Rose pursued a religious life for a few years. Over the course of her lifetime, Rose lived in Los Angeles, Sleepy Eye, and New Ulm before moving to Mankato in 2002. For the last ten years, she lived at Pathstone Assisted Living. Rose received much love and support from her AA friends in New Ulm and Sleepy Eye over the years. Rose thoroughly enjoyed BINGO and casino trips with friends and family. What she loved most of all was visiting with her large family and many friends.

Rose is survived by her brothers, Ervin (Dignora) Fromm of Liberty, KY, David (Janis) Fromm of Lakeville, MN, Clete (Dawn) Fromm of North Mankato, MN, Michael (Gail) Fromm of Claremont, MN, Mark (Rolene) Fromm of Eagle Lake, MN, and Joel (Lois) Fromm of New Ulm, MN; sisters, Doris (Leo) Csukker of Fairfax, MN and Carol (Mike) Whitney of Mankato, MN; sister-in-law, Kathy Fromm of Sleepy Eye, MN; and many nieces and nephews and their families.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Jerome, Gene, and Ed; sister, Joanne; and sisters-in-law, Judy Fromm and Rosie Fromm.

Rose’s family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Ecumen Hospice and Pathstone Assisted Living for the wonderful care they provided to Rose.
