Roseann “Rosie” Peters passed away on Monday, January 27, 2014.
Roseann “Rosie” Grace Peters was born on March 23, 1965 at Windom Area Hospital, the daughter of Theodore “Ted” and Grace (Derksen) Peters. She was baptized on August 10, 1980 and received her education from Mountain Lake Public High School, graduating with the Class of 1984.
Roseann began her career working for people with disabilities in 1984 at the Home for Creative Living in Windom. She later moved to the state of New York and experienced life as a nanny. When Roseann returned to Minnesota in 1991, she once again began supporting people with disabilities by working for Windom CRF (now known as RAI), along with working at an H.S.I. site for four individuals. At the same time, Roseann worked at COR (Community Options and Resources). When the individuals she supported at COR transferred to H.S.I., Roseann made the transition with them. For many years she worked at the two sites, supporting eight individuals. She enjoyed capturing moments in pictures by taking photographs (as that meant she couldn’t be in the picture). Roseann continued to work for H.S.I. until June 2013 when her battle with cancer prevented her from being able to continue her career. Roseann was very dedicated to the people she supported. She worked every weekend throughout all her working years.
Roseann had attended the Carson Mennonite Brethren Church in Delft for many years. When it closed she began attending the Windom Evangelical Free Church, where she was active in several Bible studies and in Women’s Ministry Event planning.
Roseann enjoyed sewing, photography and reading and her Bible. She will be remembered for being crafty and creative.
She is survived by her father, Ted Peters of Windom; one brother, Roger Peters and wife Joise, of Tracy; one sister, Mary Jane Peters of Denver, Colorado and many cousins and other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Grace Peters and grandparents, Henry H. and Marie Peters.
