Rosemarie Cousineau's Obituary
On September 13, 2022, Rosemarie (Obermeyer) Cousineau age 84 formally from Stevens Point area has slipped through the vail to be with her husband Harold Alfred Cousineau.
She was born September 16, 1937, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, the eldest of three
children to William George Sr. and Laura Mae (Snyder) Obermeyer.
She was an accomplished violinist and soprano vocalist. She thought that this was the
beginning of her greatest achievement, singing a duet with her sister (Suzanne Borgen) for a
record recording. In 1956 she graduated from Amherst High School, worked as a waitress at Amherst Cafe to save up for college. In the fall of 1956, her world changed when she met a young former Air Force airman Harold Alfred Cousineau, who was new to the area. On May 25, 1957, they were married at Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church. In November 1982, she was baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and in November 20, 1993 Rosemarie was sealed to Harold at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Chicago IL, Temple. She worked at the Wisconsin Veterans Home in King, WI as a CNA until her retirement. She enjoyed canning and crocheting. She loved to make memories with her family, including Teddy Bear Picnics and holiday baking. When you would ask her, what was her greatest achievements, her reply was her family and her faith.
