Thank you Mary Jo, your kindness is appreciated. Kari and family
I have great memories of your mom and family while we all worked together at the C and C markets, Northern Freight, and the fireworks stands, and of course the police dept events.
My mom,JoAnn passed in 2020, and my dad Carl in 2001.
May your memories of this wonderful woman live through all of you.
Sincerely,Shelly( Schulz) Christianson
Shelly, I remember all that and the great relationship our families had, especially our dads as partners in many endeavors. Thank you for your note and memories. God bless you and have a wonderful Christmas season.
Rest in Perfect Peace, Mrs. Pavek. Love and Prayers to Kari and Family.
Michele – I want you to know that I don’t know what I would do without you. I am sure your Dad has helped welcome her and they are having coffee and a kolache! Love you!!
Love, Gavin, Portia, Alexa & Oceana
Rosalie Pavek always made this son-in-law feel as welcome as family.
Her many talents included the culinary arts (especially Czech food),
the sewing arts and making people feel at home and at ease.
Our thoughts are with her living relatives and friends – we will all miss her.
Tom and Kaye Sullivan
Rose was such a kind soul. John was my boss and she made sure he remembered my birthday and Christmas each year. She had a genuine smile and such a big heart.
Anna Welder
Thank you, Anna. That put a big smile on my face. Dad was a tough guy but no match to mom, not even close. 😊
As one of there neighbors for over 40 years I can attest to that too!
Anna- Thank you for your kind words. I will never forget visiting my Dad and you were there – welcoming and kind!
Dear Kay, Julie, Dwight, Brian, and Bradely,
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your mom. Your mom and dad were great neighbors. I must say after looking at the recent photo, she has changed very little in the 66+ years that I have known her.
My dad passed away in 1993 and mom in 1996. I kept our house at 1449 10th Street North unil 2020 and sold it.
With deep sympathy,
George Schatz
George, thank you for your kind thoughts and comments. It’s been a long time since we played as kids. I hope this Christmas season finds you happy and healthy. God bless, from all of us next door.
Dwight, Please send me your email address. I would like to share more memories of your parent with you and your brothers and sisters.

Your Mother was like a sister. She lived with us, shared my bed until after her high school graduation. I will miss every chance to visit and share memories with her. Donna
Dwight, I’m so sorry for your loss. I was lucky enough to know your Mom when I was very young and my Mom, Arlene S., knew her well. They spent time at Rosewood together. I did get to visit your Mom at Rosewood and share pictures of the past. Small world…. God Bless you Dwight.
My condolences to your families. I am so glad I was able to bring Jackie McMahon and my mom (Marlys Miller) to see Rose in August. It was a beautiful visit!
