Rose W. Gausman

Rose W. Gausman, 92, of 324 Benzinger Road, St. Marys, died on Friday, November 12, 2021 at the family farm on West Creek Road.

She was born on July 23, 1929, a daughter of the late Joseph and Elizabeth Haberberger Weichman.

On April 8, 1967 in St. Marys Church, she married the late  Lawrence J. Gausman, who preceded her in death on November 3, 2003.

Rose was a lifelong resident of the area and member of St. Marys Church.  Early on, she worked at Stackpole Carbon for a number of years, and then stayed home to care for her family.  She enjoyed gardening, playing cards, puzzles, and crafting.  With a strong will and determination, there was't much that got Rose down and she was never afraid to repair anything that broke.
