Rosemary Gilbert
Passed away on April 5th, 2023.
Rosemary was born on June 11th, 1924 to George and Ida (Compo) Gilbert in St. Paul. She attended Nativity grade school and St. Joseph’s Academy. She married Daniel C. McNeely and together they raised four children which included a brief move to Chicago and then back to St. Paul. They were married 56 years until Dad’s passing in 2003. Rosemary was a woman before her time! While still a homemaker, she worked as a travel agent, ran for the state legislature, and was a successful realtor with her youngest daughter, Lolly. Dan and Rosemary were lifelong parishioners at Lumen Christi and Rosemary was active in the St. Leo’s Guild of Catholic Women. Above all, she cherished her faith and family and will be deeply missed. Rosemary is survived by her children, Danielle “Danny” McNeely, Stephanie “Stevie” (John) Lommen of St. Cloud, Patrick McNeely (Joan), and Lolly Salmen (Roddy Norris); 10 grandchildren; and 12 great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Rosemary was preceded in death by her parents, George and Ida; her husband, Daniel; her sisters, Pat (Doug) Ames, Gloria (Dick) Cooney; and sisters in law, Mary Margaret McNeely, and Kate (Dick) Seaberg. A special thank you to Ann Walters who was like another daughter to Rosemary, and to the staff of the University of Minnesota Medical Center for the wonderful care and compassion given to our mother.
