Rosa Mae Williamson

Rosa Mae Williamson (Rosy), 80, died peacefully in her sleep, May 28, 2025, at her senior living home. She was born September 6, 1944, to Stanley and Mae Williamson - the sixth child of eight. Growing up, Rosy and her siblings lived and attended school in Fridley. They also helped their father with his Pentecostal Mission downtown Minneapolis by playing and singing Christian songs, in harmony, on the streets of Skid Row. Her Mom attended Calvary Bible Church in St. Paul where Rosy met so many lifelong friends and became part of the Moberg and Droberg families. When Minnesota decided to build Highway 694 through the Williamson home, the family broke apart. Rosy graduated from Fridley High School in 1962. Marilyn Droberg encouraged Rosy to go into Nursing. Rosy received her LPN degree and then went on to get her RN degree in 1972. She spent the greatest portion of her long Nursing career working nights (her preference) at Children's Hospital, Minneapolis. Rosy never married, but at 23 she took in her sister, Rebecca, 17, and at 24, her sister, Naomi, 13, for which they are eternally grateful. She volunteered her "extra" time with a vital sideline receiving, packing and shipping surplus medical supplies to Southeast Asian Refugee Camps, for years, out of her own home. She earned many kudos through her life for her "responsive generous heart." You are invited to visit with family at 3:00 p.m. and participate in the Celebration of her Life at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, June 21, 2025 at Washburn-McReavy Glen Haven Chapel and Memorial Gardens, Crystal, MN. Honorary Pallbearers: Rebecca Williamson Reinhold, Naomi Williamson, Aseneth Palmer, Sarah Edicott Williamson, Hope Williamson Perkins, Rose Brewer Williamson, Roger Kubicki, Alex Kubicki, Sandra Moberg Walls and Wes Rasmussen. Rosy is survived by her sisters Aseneth Palmer, Rebecca Reinhold, Naomi Williamson (Roger Kubicki), sister-in-law, Sandra Williamson, many beloved nieces, nephews, their children and other dear friends and relatives, She was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings David, Lois, Daniel and Angeline, and her beloved dogs and cats, especially her dogs Missy and Luke.
