Rosemary "Rosie" Froberg, age 89, of 509 W. Munising Avenue, died late Tuesday morning, November 9, 2010 at the Schoolcraft County Medical Care Facility in Manistique. She was born on April 21, 1921 in Crystal Falls to the late Richard George and Minnie (Treloar) Brown. Rosemary was raised in Munising and graduated from Wm. G. Mather High School in 1939. She attended the Detroit Business College and was employed by the Munising Woodenware and Munising Paper Company. On July 16, 1949, Rosemary married Donald Austin Froberg. They lived in Milwaukee and returned home to Munising to begin their family. Rosemary and Don owned and operated the Yule Log Resort & Cabins and the Christmas Motel for many years. Don's job had him on the road during the week, so Rosemary was in charge of running the Motel and raising their children while he was gone. In their retirement, they enjoyed wintering in Tuscon, Arizona and Rosemary enjoyed bowling, golfing and playing cards. She and Don were married over fifty-three years when he preceded her in death on April 4, 2003. Rosemary was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church and was a Past Matron of the Munising Chapeter #424 Order of the Eastern Star.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Donald, sister Helen (Harry) Nelson and brother Richard George (Jean) Brown.
