Rozanne Mary Hefty

Rozanne Mary (Pappert) Hefty, 86, went to be with her Heavenly Father on September 4, 2020. The sweetest most genuine soul passed away at home surrounded by family. Rozie was a loving and faith filled presence in the lives of her children, grandkids and everyone that knew her. She taught us the importance of God, family, laughter and was the heart of our family. Her sense of humor and quick wit could always bring a laugh and a smile. She treasured Sunday dinners with her family and anyone who wanted to come. As long as she was able, she never missed attending her grandkids' events. Rozie was a member of St Charles Catholic Church and was a lifelong member of Most Precious Blood Catholic Church. Rozie attended mass everyday followed by coffee with the "church Ladies", which she truly treasured. She was an avid sports fan, but had a special place in her heart for "Da Bears". Surviving are her children Mark Hefty, David Hefty, Christine King, Julie (John) Price, Lisa (Tom) Krouse, Matthew (Gwen) Hefty and Karen (Joe) Krouse her "fourth daughter". She was a loving grandmother to 15 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.
