Rose H. Leider

Rose H. Leider passed away peacefully on Jan. 22, 2025, at Forest Haven in Fredonia, where she had been a resident. She was 90 years old.

  Rose was born on Dec. 13, 1934, in Random Lake, Wis., to the late Harold and Mary (Schladweiler) Hass.

She attended St. John’s Cathedral High School in Milwaukee, graduating with the Class of 1953.

Leroy preceded her in death on Dec. 12, 1998.

  Rose was a hard worker throughout her life, rooted in family, farm and community. Rose worked side by side with her husband on their family farm, whether in the fields, barn or in her large garden. She especially enjoyed preparing big, hearty meals for her family and friends.

Rose devoted 28 years to serving as an Ozaukee County Board supervisor and left a remarkable legacy that will be cherished by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Beyond her responsibilities on the County Board, Rose was passionately involved with community organizations such as the National Flag Day Foundation and the Salvation Army, where her generosity and commitment made a lasting impact.

Her vibrant spirit and unwavering dedication were an inspiration to many, and her contributions will be felt for years to come.
