September 21, 2025

Marilyn June Rossmann, 91, of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 21, 2025.
Marilyn was the beloved wife of the late James C. Rossmann, with whom she shared more than 70 years of marriage. Together, they built a life grounded in love, devotion, and faith, raising a family that was always her greatest joy.
She will be remembered for her kind and generous spirit. Marilyn was a talented seamstress and an excellent cook, but her greatest gift was the way she cared for those she loved. She welcomed her parents into her home to care for them during her father's battle with Alzheimer's, and she also tended to her father-in-law with daily meals and compassionate attention. Later in life, she once again became a caregiver, this time to her husband as he endured the challenges of Alzheimer's disease. Marilyn consistently placed the needs of others before her own, a true reflection of her unselfish and loving heart.
Marilyn is survived by her daughter, Dawn (Rick) Pinter; her sons, James, Michael, and Chris Rossmann; her sister, Geraldine Ellwanger; seven grandchildren, and thirteen great grandchildren. She was also a cherished mother-in-law and friend to many.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James C. Rossmann, and her parents, Joseph and Victoria Anetsberger.

September 23, 2025Our condolences to the Rossmann family. I have so many fond memories of Aunt Marilyn. Playing in barn, driving the 55 or 57 Chevy with 3 on the tree in the fields. Uncle Jim coming home from work and I had to have a cold beer for him as soon as he got home. Feeding the pigeons in the pigeon coop. Aunt Marilyn always had to cook me separate meals because I was the pickiest eater. Always loving and firmly planted in her beliefs.
