Rose Marie Shea (nee: Wurtz), beloved wife of the late Daniel Shea and loving mother of seven children, passed away peacefully at age 91 on Saturday, April 16, 2022.
Born prematurely on June 4, 1930 to the late Frank and Theresa Wurtz, and baptized immediately since she wasn’t expected to survive, Rose’s life was marked by her strength and thankfulness for life.
Family was Rose’s wealth, and she frequently broke out in joyful song when together with them.
Rose was an active member of St. Gabriel Parish and lived independently, supported by the parish community, with caring and generous support by Marilyn Regnel.

Mrs. Shea was the most courageous and strong women I have ever met.
She was a great mother to 7 children and raised them all with GOD as their mentor in life to do good for themselves and for all others!
She was a pretty lady that was very happy in everyday life when we were all young and part of Theresa Shea (Robertson) childhood friends. Rose would always have a beautiful smile even when she had to be stern she would end her day with love and a smile for everyone.
She created a huge family with love and compassion. However, She was no push over she was strict and very direct in expectations of all of her children and their friends: religion, chores, work hard and education!
There needs to be more Rose’s on this earth today, the world would be a better place!!!
Love,
Shirley (Schopp)
