  • Notes 
    • KRAEMER, Rosemary (nee Esbaugh) - Rosemary passed away peacefully, at Lisaard House with her family by her side, on Thursday, February 23, 2006, at the age of 69. Mom stoically endured a lengthy but courageous battle with lung cancer. Beloved wife for 43 years of the late Lloyd Kraemer (1999). She will be sadly missed by her five girls and their families. Most loved and devoted mother of Debra MacPherson and her husband Dale of St. Jacobs, Venetta Witt and her husband Brian of St. Clements, Sherry Kraemer of Kitchener, Judy Wilhelm of Kitchener and Tracy Shewfelt and her husband Darren of Waterloo. Cherished Nana of Tim and his wife Kyla and Dana MacPherson, Christopher and Carrie Witt and Amber and Logan Shewfelt. Special Great-Nana to Braelyn MacPherson. Survived by her brother Clare Esbaugh, sister Mary Dietrich (Bob), brother Harold Esbaugh, sister Terry Beaupre (Ken), sister Marcy Kellogg and Betty Phillips (Harry). Rosemary will be fondly remembered by her many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her baby daughter Maria, parents Hilda and Albert Esbaugh, brothers Jerry and Joe Esbaugh, sisters-in-law Thelma, Terry, Audrey and Helen Esbaugh, brother-in-law Laverne Kellogg and nephew Bradley Phillips. Our Mom and Nana thoroughly enjoyed cheering on her family at many baseball, hockey, soccer, basketball games and dance recitals. Go Leafs Go! Mom retired from NCR Waterloo after 26 years of dedicated service where she developed many lasting friendships. Rosemary enjoyed gardening, cooking, baking, playing cards, bingo and especially spending time with family and friends. Mom truly enjoyed the violin, accordion, guitar and singing provided by her brother-in-law Bob, sister Marcy and daughter Venetta. She recently enjoyed one last "concert" at Lisaard House where she tapped her foot in keeping time with the beautiful music. A heartfelt thank you is extended to all the staff and friends at Lisaard House as well as Dr. M. Casey, Dr. D. Ward and Dr. D. Reinhardt for their kindness and compassion during her illness. Rosemary's family will receive relatives and friends at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick St., Kitchener (749-8467) tonight (Saturday) from 7-9 p.m. and on Sunday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. with Parish prayers at 8:30 p.m. Prayers will be offered in the funeral home on Monday, February 27, 2006 at 10:30 a.m. followed by procession to St. Teresa's RC Church (44 Leonard St. Kit.) for Rosemary's Celebratory Mass at 11 a.m. Father David Lewis officiating with assistance from Sister Anne. Interment at Parkview Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to Lisaard House, Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (K-W Chapter) or to the Kidney Foundation of Ontario (K-W Chapter) would be appreciated by the family (cards available at the funeral home). Visit www.obit411.com/1962 for Rosemary's memorial. Mom, Nana, Great-Nana...God saw you getting tired, And a cure was not meant to be. So he put his arms around you, And whispered "Come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, As we saw you pass away. Although we love you deeply, We could not make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only picks the best.
