Roseann “Aunt Rosie” Lampert, 97, formerly of Greendale, Indiana, while surrounded by her loved ones, went “Home” into Jesus’ welcoming arms on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 and was greeted by loving family, friends, and former pets, who went on before her. Now that Roseann has passed, her physical life on Earth is over, but it is the beginning of an eternal and beautiful journey for her.
 Roseann was born to Ann Marie (Pelgen) and Clarence Lampert on April 27, 1927 in Aurora, Indiana above the Pelgen Cafe. She was a graduate of Oldenburg Academy in 1945.
 Roseann’s adult career life always involved helping others. These included dental offices, Children’s Hospital and HeadStart. She also assisted teaching adults how read. Roseann helped her parents run the historical Pelgen Bar and Restaurant (Aurora, Indiana) for many years, until her mother’s passing in 1972.
 Roseann was the sister who loved and supported her three brothers. She became the ultimate, loving, caring,“Aunt Rosie” to eleven nieces and nephews: Always there to babysit, change a diaper, lend an ear, or take you shopping for your next school dance to make sure you got something “Hip”! She was the cool, trustworthy, caring Aunt Rosie. This extended to her great and great-great nieces and nephews as well.
 In Heaven, Roseann joins her parents, Ann Marie (Pelgen) and Clarence Lampert; siblings, Jerome Lampert (Mary), Thomas Lampert (Bernice); nephew Michael Lampert; and great niece Alissa Lampert.
 She is survived by her loving brother, James Lampert (Dee) of Cincinnati, OH, and first cousin, Don (Rhea) Lampert of Cincinnati, OH; her beloved canine companion, Katie; nieces and nephews, David (Deanna) Lampert of Cincinnati, OH, Laura (Brian) Rice of Texas, Jeffery (Pam) Lampert of Cincinnati, OH, Karen (Paul) Pizzimenti of Loveland, OH, Gregory (Cindy) Lampert of Cincinnati, OH, Steve (Patricia) Lampert of Greendale, IN, Carol (Todd) Schuett of Carol Stream, IL, Susan (John) Wulff of Muncie, IN, Mary Copley of Connersville, IN, Teresa (Bill) Lynn of Laura, OH; 22 great nieces and nephews; and 15 great-great nieces and nephews.
