Obituary

Rose Rupnik of Sherman, went home to be with our Lord on March 4, 2017.

Rose was born on May 16, 1918 in Mulberry, KS to Johann and Rose (Gracner) Rupnik. She was preceded in death by her parents, as well as siblings: John Rupnik Jr., Ann (Frank) Natale, Mary (John) Ippoliti, Herman Rupnik, and Ronald Rupnik.

Rose is survived by her dear sister: Louise Fedor of Lincoln, several nieces and nephews, many great nieces and nephews, and great- great nieces and nephews. Her family meant a lot to Rose. Rose enjoyed her childhood years in Auburn, and moved to Springfield as a young adult. During WWII, Rose worked at Armbruster’s Tent Factory making tents for the troops. Later she worked a punch press for 38 years at Hobbs Factory on behalf of the war effort.

Rose enjoyed reading, loved to listen and dance to Slovenian music, Polkas, the Jitterbug, and Waltzes. She attended the Slovenian Wine Festivals in Springfield and the Slovenian Picnics in her hometown of Auburn. Rose was a member of the Slovenian SNPJ Society for 80+ years.

In her later years, she enjoyed visits with her family, singing with her family, watching the Lawrence Welk Show, Antiques Road Show and major league baseball, and participating in the activities at the Villa. Rose moved to the Villa East in 2001 and called the Villa home the remainder of her life. It was easy for her to call the Villa home with the great care she received there from the nursing team at her station. Rose was especially fond of and grateful for the special loving care she received from Tammie at the Villa East.

Graveside services will be held at a later date.
