Patricia Ann (Idol) Rosenberger, 85, of Highland, with family by her side passed away peacefully at her home, Sunday afternoon, August 2, 2020.

Pat was born August 13, 1934, one of five children to Paul and Thelma (Taylor) Idol at the family home near White cloud. Pat was a lifelong resident of the area where she attended Hilltop Grade School and Reserve High School. At the age of 16, she married her soul mate Gerald Rosenberger at Manhattan Bible College, Manhattan, KS on April 28, 1951.

She was a member of the White Cloud Christian Church and the Order of Eastern Star Chapter #233.

Highlights of her life was her husband “Fed” of 69 years, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. If they had an activity or sporting event you can bet she would be there and be classified as their number one fan. Her family always asked her to make her infamous cinnamon rolls and if you were of one the lucky, she would make taffy.

Surviving are her children: Randall Rosenberger (Delinda) of Atchison, Dedra Bunck (Bob) of Everest, grandchildren: Branson Rosenberger (Terri) of Troy, Nikia Weber (Jeff) of Atchison, Lindsey Miller (Tyler) of Wathena, Bobbie Ann Jacobson (Charlie) of Towanda, Brice Bunck (Allison) of Topeka, Bailey Lanter (Michael) of Everest. Great-grandchildren include Cassidy, Caden Rosenberger, Griffin, Emerson Weber, Bryer, Brailee, Bentlee, Barrett Miller, Spencer Rose, Eli, Brett Violet, Duke Jacobson, Cole, Tenly, Sawyer Creighton Bunck, Tiffin and Beckett Lanter. Also surviving is a brother Paul Idol (Cloeva) of Topeka.

Pat was preceded in death by her parents, husband Gerald “Fed” Rosenberger June 19, 2020, brothers: Martin, Harold (Bud) Idol, and a sister Mary Drake.
