Rosemary Mandt
Rosemary was born Sept. 21, 1932, in Austin, to Albert and Mary (Langan) Perl. She graduated from St. Augustine High School in Austin. On Jan. 19, 1957, she married Donald Mandt at Queen of Angels Catholic Church in Austin.
In addition to being a wife, mother and homemaker, Rosemary worked in the payroll office at Hormel, as a clerk at the AFCS office and at Brenda’s Market.
Rose always had a pot of coffee on, an extra place at the table and a cheery disposition. Mom taught us about faith, unconditional love and truly how to love your neighbor. Her favorite times were surrounded by friends and family and lots of noise. Rose prayed the rosary as part of her daily routine, went to daily mass, and taught her kids the value of a relationship with God. Anyone who knew her well also knew she loved to celebrate all the holidays, especially St. Patrick’s Day.
She was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Rita and infant daughter, Mary.
Rosemary is survived by her husband of 54 years, Don Mandt of Rose Creek; children, Margaret (Rick) Neuvirth of Elkton, Minn., Joe (Anne) Mandt of Chatfield, Minn., Jane (Mike) Keller of Medford, Minn., Mike Mandt and Fiancée Jen Warner of Chatfield, Jim (Tara) Mandt of Adams, Dave (Amy) Mandt of Watertown, Minn.; grandchildren, Brian Neuvirth, Michele (Dan) Frank, Tim (Michelle) Neuvirth, Donna Neuvirth, Nick Neuvirth, Eric Bohn, Vanessa Bohn, Spencer Mandt, Chris Keller, Caitlin Keller, Brad Keller, Kayla Mandt, Kari Mandt, Jake Mandt, Sam Mandt, Lucas Mandt, Colton Mandt, Ashlynn Mandt, Dylan Mandt, Clara Mandt, and William Mandt; great-grandson, Grant Frank; sisters, Margaret (Jerry) Grimley of Austin, and Phyllis (Jim) Walenga, Mishawaka, Ind.
