Rose Mary was born May 10, 1934, in St. Anna to Michael and Adeline (Bueckers) Atkinson. She married the love of her life, Clarence Jarnot on May 4, 1957, at Immaculate Conception Church in St. Anna, and they were blessed with nine children. The couple farmed together outside of Holdingford. She was a dedicated caregiver, homemaker, hard-working farm wife, spiritual leader, and a fantastic cook.

Rose Mary, a faithful Catholic was a member of the Church of All Saints-St. Hedwig, St Hedwig’s Christian Mothers, Rosary Sodality, and Holdingford American Legion Auxiliary.

As an active member in her parish, Rose Mary taught and prepared many children for First Communion. She prayed the Rosary daily, prayed faithfully for everyone that was in need of prayers for any reason, including family, friends, community, religious leaders, and especially for strong faith and protection of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

After farming she enjoyed retirement at Two River Lake and working at The Store in St. Anna and Helping Hands in Holdingford. She enjoyed meeting new people, visiting those not able to leave their homes, and loved giving “free” hugs. She made such a positive impact on so many lives and was named Holdingford City Mother in 2011. She loved bringing people together through family Christmas and Fourth of July celebrations to share the joy, laughter, and love of family. She always said, “The more the merrier.”

She instilled in her children and grandchildren the importance of faith and lived as an exemplary role model. She was a pillar of hard work and loyalty, shown by helping and including others. She will be remembered as a humble servant to God.

Rose Mary loved life and her greatest joy was being surrounded by family. She was an incredible mom, grandma, and great-grandma and will be missed beyond measure by all who knew her.

Rose Mary is survived by her children; Rosanne (Craig) Voss, St. Francis; Timothy (Audrey) Jarnot, Clear Lake; James (Mary) Jarnot, St. Anna; Patricia (Steven) Voss, Avon; Bonita (Jeffrey) Rooney, St. Michael; Jean (Brenton) Wold, St. Michael; Donald (Janet) Jarnot, St. Wendel; Eileen (Matthew) Lundgren, St. Anthony Village. Sister, Carol Lange, Golden Valley; and brother, Michael “Mickey” (Darlene) Atkinson, Fort White, FL. She is also survived by 23 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren (with two more on the way).
