Remembering Rose Marie DeMaagd

Rose Marie DeMaagd, age 79, of Wyoming, was called to her heavenly home on Thursday, October 17, 2019 after a long battle with pulmonary fibrosis. She was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald; and step son Bill. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Deborah (Bill) Richter-Polanic, Jeffrey Richter, Teresa Richter, Robert (Debra) DeMaagd, Diane (Dan) Rietema; brother-in-law, Harvey DeMaagd;  ten grandchildren; nine great grandchildren; and her loving dog, Suzie. Rose was a loving, caring, devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends at the cottage in Spring Lake. Rose was a life-long member and supporter of St. John Vianney Catholic Church. She loved to garden and travel in the motorhome with Gerald. Her greatest joy was to cook dinner for her family and friends and was well known for her Italian cuisine.  She was an outgoing, gregarious person who always had a smile on her face and loved to engage in conversation and social activities. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, October 21, 2019 at 11:00 am at St. John Vianney Church, 4101 Clyde Park SW, Wyoming, with Fr. John Vallier officiating. Entombment Resurrection Cemetery.

Our heartfelt sympathy to the entire DeMaagd & Richter families on your loss of Rose. We were shocked & had no idea she was that ill. We wanted to attend the visitation but we were both under the weather with a bug. We had a lot of good times in the early days with Rose, Jerry, Harv & extended family. We cherish those memories as I'm sure all of you do. It's really sad to lose old friends.

Dear Family: I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Rose Marie and I were good friends and cousins as children. Then my family moved to California and I have not ever seen her since, but please no I have fond memories of her and will look forward to the day that I’ll see her again in heaven. We will be able to renew our friendships there. I’m sure you have fun memories that will carry you through this difficult time. Bless all of you and please know your mother was very much loved by her family and extended cousins. Love & fond memories, Gene & Lynn Pellerito Briggs

Dear Deb, Jeff and Teresa, Your beautiful mother and I have been friends since 4th grade at St. John Vianney school. We have kept in touch through the years , including a visit to our home in the Bay area in their motor home at least 15-17 years ago. I talked with her just after one of your weddings when I saw the gorgeous pictures you posted on FB. May your precious memories comfort you during this sad time and help you get through the lonely times. I used to tease her to write an Italian Cook book but guess she never did. Hugs to each of you. If any of you are ever in the Palm Springs area we'd love to see you.Our sincere condolences.
