Schnese, Marion Rosella
Rosella Marion Schnese, 73, died in her home of heart failure on June 20, 2006, in the presence of her loved ones. Rose, the daughter of the late Martin and Angeline Van Roy was born in Kimberly, Wisconsin, on September 15, 1932. She married her husband Calvin Schnese on January 15, 1955, and traveled the world eventually making Anchorage their permanent home. Rose started her employment with Kimberly-Clark Paper Mill and retired in 1994 after working for the Army Air Force Exchange Service.
Rose is survived by her sons and their spouses, Terry and Kelly Schnese, Tad and Judy Schnese of Anchorage; daughters, Karen Wallace of Anchorage and Tamy and husband, Richard De Leon of Honolulu, Hawaii; grandchildren: Donny, Sondra, Tony, Kevin, Karisa, Kyle, and Megan; siblings: Dorothy Van Drasek, Darlene Dorn, Bernard Van Roy of Kimberly, Wisconsin; and brother-in-law, Jerry and his wife, Sue Schnese of Appleton, Wisconsin.
Rose was preceded in death by her husband and her infant daughter, Debbie.
Rosie will forever be remembered as a loving, gracious, and kind-hearted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Her special touch could always bring a smile to your face and leave you chuckling with a well-placed wise crack. Rose found joy in life visiting with her family and friends both at home and in Wisconsin. Her most recent life highlights included camping and fishing on the Kenai with family, attending her daughter's military retirement and seeing her granddaughter get married. She was looking forward to seeing her first great-grandchild in October.
