Kathleen A. (Erdmann) Rose

Kathleen Ann (Erdmann) Rose, 68, of Sheboygan, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2022, at St. Luke’s Medical Center of Milwaukee, after a short battle of cancer, surrounded by her family.

Kathleen was born on September 10, 1953, in Sheboygan, to the late Howard Erdmann and June Kiedrowski. Kathleen was a dedicated wife and mother. Kathleen enjoyed spending time outdoors, camping, gardening, fishing, and cooking out. She also enjoyed watching the Green Bay Packers, TLC, and the Discovery channel; playing cards, board games and crafting. Kathleen was very patriotic, loved holiday’s but most of all, she loved spending time with her family, and her faithful companion, Buddy.

Kathleen is survived by one son and daughter-in-law: Wally (Tracy) Wohlgemuth, Jr., St. Nazianz; one daughter: Heidi Maura (Tim Kanter), Valders; 12 grandchildren: Tiffany (Roman) Schneider, Shane Wohlgemuth (Kelli Mann), Angel Wohlgemuth, Athena Wohlgemuth (Edgar Araiza), Brittany Faber (Jason Murley), Brianna (Alex) Christel, Brenna Faber (Rudi Villa), William “Lil Bill” Maura, Jr., Devyn Wohlgemuth, Mason Wohlgemuth (Alysia Mendez), and Kevin Schnackel, Dakota Sunrise; 11 great-grandchildren: Ethan, Gabe, McKenzie, Melony, Maddi, Kaizer, Lillianna, Kinsley, Easton, Eli, and Emy; three brothers: Jack (Lynn) Erdmann, David (Sue) Erdmann, and Dan “Danny” (Amy) Kiedrowski; one sister: Linda (Dale) Zimmermann. She is further survived by numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and her faithful companion, Buddy. Kathleen was preceded in death by her parents; sister: Penny Lowenhagen (Fred Heller); one son: Billy Wohlgemuth, infant nephew: Zachary Heller; infant great-granddaughter, Azalea Maura, other aunts, uncles, and cousins.

As a last request from Kathleen, she wanted a special message to be relayed to everyone she knew, “No matter what they all thought or felt, I truly loved you all very much and never meant to or intentionally hurt you in anyway, none of you, my family and friends.”

There will be a celebration of life for Kathleen at Christianson and Deja Funeral Home, 202 Liberty Street, Valders, on Thursday, May 26, 2022, at 6:00 pm with Deacon Al Boeldt officiating. Relatives and friends may greet the family on Thursday, May 26, at the funeral home from 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm, with cremation to follow.
