Rosemary Vargas, 88, passed away at Agrace Hospice Care surrounded by husband Joseph and their eight children; Paul ( spouse, Debbie), Philip (spouse, Linda), Dwight (spouse Jody), Gregory, Mel (spouse Suzanne), Jennifer (spouse Mark), Raymond (spouse Carmen), and James.

She was a devoted mother and wife. Her beautiful heart and motherly wisdom brought balance to the dynamics of a large family.  She loved to create flower arrangements from her home-grown flower gardens and always found a way to keep fresh baked goods in the house. She exemplified humor, forgiveness and charity as the foundation of a blessed soul. She taught the importance of community, service and treating everyone with respect, fairness, and empathy. She dedicated countless hours volunteering at St. Joseph School and Church. She enjoyed supporting the Women’s Guild of St. Joseph Parish, Battle Creek, Michigan and the Women’s Spiritual Journey, St. Albert the Great Parish, Sun Prairie, WI. She is also survived by her 14 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
