Rosemary Kostohryz

Rosemary passed away peacefully on July 6, 2025. She was a remarkably kind and talented individual. A gifted singer, seamstress, and exceptional cook, she took pride in performing at the Sydney Opera House with the Sweet Adelines. During her leisure time, Rosemary dedicated herself to volunteering at the North St. Paul Food Shelf and reading to the visually impaired, as she was an enthusiastic reader herself. She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard, and her daughters, Anna, Nancy, and Mary. Her children, Victoria (Max) Lemberger, Rick (Kathleen), and Paula (Bill) Bristow, along with Pepin, whom we cherish as family, will deeply miss her; as will her grandchildren, Anna, Max, Allison, JR, and Charlie; and her great-grandchildren, Harrison, Henry, Max, and Calvin. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 AM on Friday, July 25, at St. Jude of the Lake Catholic Church, located at 700 Mahtomedi Ave., with visitation commencing one hour prior. A private interment will take place at Fort Snelling National Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are preferred to the North St. Paul Area Emergency Food Shelf.
