Obituary

BARNEVELD - Rosemary Ann Campbell passed away on Monday, June 10, 2024, at Ingleside Nursing Home in Mount Horeb. She was at Ingleside for less than three weeks after a fall in her home on the farm where she resided for over 76 years.


Rosemary was born to Karl Henry and Nellie May (Blowers) Reimann on June 25, 1927, in Arena, Wis. She graduated from Arena High School and attended UW-Madison for several years before she married Milford Garfield "Barney" Campbell on Oct. 4, 1947. They celebrated 63 years together before he passed on March 2, 2011.


Rosemary worked side by side with Barney on the farm, but she had several off the farm jobs at the Barneveld Coop, house cleaning in Madison, and Stauffers Cheese in Blue Mounds. Her longest tenured job off the farm was in the dietary dept at Ingleside Nursing Home in Mount Horeb, where she worked part-time until she was 82 years old.


Survivors include her daughters, Linda (Bill) Unger of Oregon, Wis., Nancy (Del) Schneeberger of Cambridge, Wis., and Brenda (Don) Blahnik of Red Wing, Minn.; two grandchildren, Kyle (Ellie) Blahnik of Red Wing, Minn., and Bryant (Jensen) Blahnik of Spokane, Wash.; two great-grandchildren, Wrenlie Blahnik and Brock Blahnik; sister-in-law, Joyce Reimann; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; granddaughter, Brittany Blahnik; sister and brother-in-law, Marie (Art) Anderson; brothers and sisters-in-law, Roland (Leona), William (Irene) and Robert Reimann; and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Eleanor (Campbell) and Walter Hiltbrand, Esther Mae (Campbell) and William Hiltbrand.


A funeral service will be held at BARNEVELD LUTHERAN CHURCH, 505 Swiss Lane, Barneveld, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 22, 2024. Burial will take place at White Church Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the church from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the service on Saturday.
 

The family would like to thank Agrace HospiceCare for two years of care in her home after the lymphoma diagnosis and also at the nursing home, the Iowa County ADRC staff, the Barneveld EMTs when she fell on May 15, 2024, Upland Hills Hospital for their care and support after her fall, and of course, Ingleside Nursing Home for their loving care and emotional support for the family.

I wish I had been able to know Rosemary longer! We did not meet until a few years ago. She always had a smile and offer of coffee for a visitor and kept a positive attitude regardless of her circumstances. There is no doubt that Rosemary brought a lot of love into this world. ❤ Earlene Laudin

I have many fond memories of sleepovers in Rosie and Barney’s big beautiful home. A home she couldn’t leave until she had to. I always thought they were such a handsome couple. Linda was my best friend in high school, and we shared lots of fun times. I loved driving down that winding driveway to spend time with Linda and other friends. And her parents were a big part of feeling welcomed there. You have my deepest sympathies. Love, Sandy

I knew Rosemary and Barney through my parents and siblings. I worked at Ingelside as a Nursing assistant just out of high school when Rosemary was there and went on to be a nurse with UW Health where she was one of my favorite sweet ladies. How wonderful she was able to live on the farm that she and Barney treasured so much. My sympathies from the Schuelke family to all of you! May God hold you gently and lovingly. Ann Mason

The Campbell and Thoni families have been close friends for over 100 years. Barney and Rosemary were married a week before our parents, Ralph and Sylvia Thoni. Our families shared countless memories, including church, school, and sporting events. Rosemary and Barney, Claire and Louise, and the girls were always there as we grew up. I will never forget as a very little boy coming up to my mom and hugging her legs as she served a noon luncheon in the basement of the old Barneveld Lutheran Church. To much shock and surprise it wasn't mom, but Rosemary Campbell that smiled down at my little face. She was a wonderful woman of faith and a very dear family friend. Our deepest sympathies and prayers to the entire family. Love and blessings to you all. Fred Thoni

I have many wonderful memories spending time at uncle Barney and aunt Rosy’s - birthday parties, Christmas eve celebrations and Thanksgivings always at the child’s table. Many sleep overs with Linda Nancy Brenda Karen and Anita . You lived a wonderful life and now you can rest - we will miss you always!
