Rosalie "Rosie" M. Gotsch, 82, passed away at home in Beach Park, Illinois surrounded by her family.

Rosie was born September 19, 1943 in Escanaba, Michigan. She moved to Arkdale,Wisconsin where she lived with her husband Kenneth until her health started to decline and she moved in with her sister Donna in Beach Park, IL. Before moving Rosie was a Supervisor for Cherry Electric for many years before finding employment with Motorola. She was one with nature and loved spending time outdoors. In her younger years she would take her children on vacations, and would take camping trips with her husband Ken, where she would enjoy taking walks through nature, especially seeing the waterfalls in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and fishing. Rosie also enjoyed bowling, family get-togethers, making sure the birds were fed, and just enjoying life to the fullest.

Rosalie is survived by her husband, Kenneth Gotsch; children, Patty Decker, and Frank Decker; six grandchildren, Melanie, Tiffany, Alex, Haley, Sarah, and Erin; four great-grandchildren; siblings, Donna Pannone, John Leach, Paul Leach, Jim Leach, Stacey Olson, and Jimmy Downes.

A celebration of Rosalie's life will be held on a later date.

A huge thank you to the Vitas Hospice team #711, who took care of her, and always showed her love and respect.
