Obituary
BARNEVELD-Rosemary C. Brennan, age 82, of Barneveld, passed away on Monday, Feb. 24, 2020, at UW Hospital and Clinics. She was born on April 9, 1937, in Highland, Wis., the daughter of Anthony and Mary (Kroll) Kreul.
Rosemary worked for many years for the Barneveld School District and then for the Dean Clinic until her retirement. She was a member of American Legion Auxiliary Post No. 433 and St. Bridget's Catholic Church in Ridgeway, Wis.
Rosemary was a great baker and made the best cookies, according to her grandchildren. She was a bird lover and especially loved hummingbirds. Rosemary enjoyed being outside tending to her large gardens and living in a small town. Her favorite thing in life was her family. You could always count on a call and card on any special days. Her big smile will be truly missed.
Rosemary is survived by her children, Patrick William (Sharon) Brennan, Michael (Ann) Brennan, Jeanie (Jeff) Anderson, Joan Brennan and Jane (Scott) Carlson; 12 grandchildren, Katie Brennan, Christopher (Keyton) Brennan, Kellie Brennan, Kellen (Ann) Anderson, Kyle (Lauren) Anderson, Connor (Sam) Anderson, Sandy Field, Luis Aragon-Zaring, Mark Aragon-Zaring, Jessica (Jacob) Krause, Jarrett Carlson and Justin Carlson; two great-grandchildren, Lana Anderson and Harper Anderson; and many extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Ambrose Kreul, John Kreul and LaVerne Kreul; and sister, Madeline Masbruch.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at ST. BRIDGET'S CATHOLIC CHURCH, 803 Main St., Ridgeway, at 11 a.m. on Monday, March 2, 2020, with Father Chahm Gahng presiding and Father Steve Petrica concelebrating.

Rosemary was a dedicated and caring colleague. She was one of those who never gave up after the tornado and helped us save the school. The DPI wanted us to consolidate with Mt. Horeb and everyone had to work extra hard. Rosemary never complained under those difficult conditions in 1984. She was a tireless and valued worker in the school office. I'm very sorry to learn of her passing.

Dear family, please accept my sympathy on hearing of Rosemary’s death. She lived on my c level as neighbors . We enjoyed our visits for conversation and laughter. She often shared cucumbers fresh from the garden and the best way to pickle them. She appreciated family & their support to remain independent. Rosemary & family are in my prayers. Mary Anne Bohne

As neighbors, we shared fun conversations. Rosemary often called & invited me to visit. She shared cucumbers from her son’s garden. I am grateful for her. God bless. Mary Anne Bohne
