Obituary of Rosemary Lewandowski
Please share a memory of Rosemary to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Niles-Rosemary Calder Lewandowski died at Memorial Hospital on May 3rd. She courageously tried to battle back to health for 30 days before surrendering to complications of pancreatitis. Rosie is a 1966 graduate of Niles High School, and was very active with the class reunion committee. Rosie is also remembered by many through connections from her work and volunteerism through the years; driving for Niles Dial-a-Ride and the DAV, her involvement in the "women's auxiliary group", the Eau Claire Bag Ladies, her 22 years of employment for Tom Mollison, CPA, and as lunch lady at St Mary's Catholic School.
Rosie is preceded in death by her husband of 17 years, Michael Lewandowski, who died on December 10, 1984. She was also preceded in death by her fiancé, Tom Dipert, who died on November 24, 1998.
Rosie is survived by her mother, Bonnie (Gilbert) Calder of Buchanan, MI, and her siblings, Scott and Kent Calder, Colette Pointer and Gail Basore. Rosie has three surviving children, Marci (Darryl Jenkins) Lewandowski Jenkins of Grand Rapids, Gretchen (William) Gendron of Lawrence, MI, and Toby (Erica) Lewandowski of Richmond, MI. Rosemary was Grandma Rosie to seven grand children, Christopher, Joshua, Izabella, Peter, Evalyn, Addison and Calder who was born on April 10, 2010. She was also "Aunt Rosie" to many others who she loved deeply.
