Rosemary Leverich Frobose

Rosemary Leverich Frobose passed away at Carle Hospital in Urbana at 3:30am on Friday, September 26, 2008 at the age of 80. Rosemary was born on December 19, 1927. She was the only daughter of the marriage between Walter Leverich of Catlin and Bessie Wilcoxen of Indianola. She married William E. Frobose in 1946 and remained his committed and loving wife for 62 years. She bore two sons; William L. Frobose and Mark A. Frobose, both of Danville, IL. She is also survived by a grand-daughter Emily Marie Frobose and a daughter-in-law Nicole Frobose all of whom she loved profoundly. Rosemary was a brilliant person of many interests and hobbies who loved her family deeply. A committed, protective, and supportive mother, she always sacrificed to provide an excellent and loving home and education to her children. She encouraged the virtues of bravery, self-sufficiency, hard-work, patriotism, and Christianity daily to her family and associates. Her fearless spirit of dedication to truth and justice won her many a battle often against more powerful less-principled foes whom she bested with glee. She was a jewelry aficionado and also enjoyed reading and crocheting in her spare time. Her stoic and intelligent approach to life was a blessing to her family and friends. Her family will miss both her and her unconquerable spirit more deeply than anyone will ever know. A celebration of Rosemarys life will be held at 10:00am on Monday, September 29, 2008 at Sunset Funeral Home & Cremation Center. Pastor William Byram will officiate. Burial will follow at Sunset Memorial Park. The family will receive friends on Sunday September 28, from 1:00-4:00pm at the funeral home.
