Rose A. Buteyn, age 68, of Sheboygan Falls was called home to her Lord and Savior on Thursday,
December 5, 2019, with her loving family by her side.
She was born in Sheboygan on February 12, 1951, to the late Leon and Lillian (Goebel) Losey. Rosie
attended St. Paul’s Lutheran School and graduated from North High School in 1969. She furthered her
education at LTC and graduated with an Associate’s Degree in finance. On February 13, 1971, Rosie
married Philip J. Buteyn at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Sheboygan. Rosie worked for over 30 years at
Wells Fargo earning her way to the title of VP of personal banking at the time of her retirement.
Throughout her career, Rosie made many friends and was respected as a mentor in the workplace.
Rosie was also very active within the community, volunteering in programs such as Meals on Wheels,
The Kiwanis Club, Chamber of Commerce, and Festival of Trees. While a member at St. Paul’s Lutheran
Church, Rosie belonged to the altar guild and served terms as both the church treasurer and the school
board president. She was a woman of faith whose life reflected her love for God. A current member of
Luther Memorial Lutheran Church, Rosie attended Bible studies, served on the fellowship committee,
and was a member of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League.
Rosie enjoyed antiquing, reading, traveling, gardening, and especially quilting. She belonged to the
Sheboygan County Quilters Guild and the Kettle Country Quilters Guild. She spent countless hours in
her loft creating many beautiful pieces for her family and friends to enjoy. Spoiling the grandchildren
and her black lab, Sam, was also a passion of Rosie’s. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
