Rosemarie P. (Zeithammer nee Caithaml) Hancock

March 10, 1917 - June 21, 2002

Rosemarie P. (Zeithammer) Hancock, 85, affectionately known as "Rosie Peep," passed on to join her parents, Wenzl and Marie Zeithammer. Awaiting her arrival are her brothers, Rudolph and Arnold, and her beloved Fritz. Also her sisters, Irene and Josephine "Pep." Her immediate family gathered together prior to death to bid her farewell with much love and affection.

She left behind her son, Fred (Jeanette) Hancock, and four grandchildren, Fritz (Tracy), LeNita (Brandon) Arritt, Sarah and Valerie. Also her brother, Ernest, and sister, Mickey, mourn her loss.

Most of her working life was at Oliver/White Farm where she retired. Rose Peep was always available to help others and asked for none in return. Her wishes were to not have a viewing.

A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, June 25, in St. Monica Church, Mishawaka, Ind., with Fr. Derrick Sneyd officiating. Interment will follow at Cedar Grove Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, her wish is to send donations to the St. Joseph County Right to Life, 320 N. Lafayette Blvd., South Bend, IN 46601. The Thallemer-Goethals Funeral Home, Mishawaka, is handling Rosie's arrangements
