Rosamary Stedman Persinger went home to be with the Lord on May 22, 2022.
Rosamary was born in Butte, MT on October 7, 1948 to Reba and Wayne Stedman. She was the third of four daughters born in her family. Rosamary married Jim Sullivan in 1966 and had her first son, Jimmy. In 1972, Rosamary married Larry Persinger and had her second son, Angelo.
Rosamary would best be known as someone who loved unconditionally and had a heart of gold. She was kind beyond words, a friend to many of all walks of life, and dearly loved by all who knew her. She spent many years as a bartender where she enjoyed meeting new people and reminiscing with the regulars.
She often said her favorite thing in life was watching her two adult sons spending time together. Rosamary had several nieces and nephews and was adored by all of them.
Rosamary was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her two sons, Jim (Elaine) Sullivan, and Angelo (April) Persinger, her three sisters Wilma McDonald, Wanita Weis, and Ruth Warner, her grandchildren Cameron (Angelique) Sines, Stedman (Lindsey) Sullivan, Diedrich Brush, and Rheana Brush, and her great grandchildren Nathaniel and Amelia Sines.

I’m so going to miss Rosa. So many loving memories and so much sharing. I just talked with her and now no more. I grieve and lament no more time now…but I shall meet with her again !. Oh Rosa….i am your friend eternally. How foolish to spend time on other things and not more time with you. I will make it up in the bye and bye….God bless you and the peace you will know now…..virginia
