Rosemary Theresa Shoup

Age 89 of Winona passed away peacefully surrounded by family on July 13, 2018. Born May 6, 1929 to Dr. Leo P. and Stella W. Bantle in Saint Paul, MN. She graduated from the nursing program at Saint Mary's Hospital in Rochester in 1951, and worked as a school nurse in Saint Paul until shortly after her marriage to Robert C. Shoup on June 26, 1954. Robert and Rosemary moved from Saint Paul to Winona with their five children in 1963.

Rosemary was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a faithful friend to many. Rosemary's life-long priority was family and friends. In addition to home-making, she loved golfing, swimming, playing bridge, and traveling.

She was preceded in death by parents Dr. Leo and Stella Bantle, brother Dr. Leo Bantle Jr., daughter-in-law Julie Shoup, and granddaughter Ruth Ann Shoup. She is survived by her loving husband Robert; children Bob (Diana), Katherine (Steven) Pederson, Michael, John (Margarita) and Jim (Tammy), ten grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends.

The funeral service will be held Friday, July 20, 2018 at 11:00 AM at Saint Mary's Catholic Church, 1303 West Broadway, Winona, MN, with visitation one hour prior. Lunch to follow the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the Upper Midwest Chapter of the National MS Society in honor of daughters-in-law Julie and Margarita, or to Saint Mary's Church, Winona, MN, where Rosemary was a member since 1963.
