She grew up on a dairy farm and graduated from Appleton High School in 1940. As a young woman, Rosemary worked at Zwicker Knitting Mills in Appleton, and married Heraclus "Herk" Probst on November 10, 1945 at St. Therese Catholic Church in Appleton. Rosemary was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She enjoyed many hobbies and crafts including needlework, decorating eggs, planting cacti, collecting glass paperweights and playing bingo. She had lived in Kimberly for 68 years and was an active member of Holy Spirit Parish. She also volunteered at St. Vincent de Paul.
