Arlene Rosebrook
March 5, 1942 - December 8, 2023
Arlene Rosebrook, 81, of Deshler, Ohio passed away Friday evening, December 8, 2023 at the Genacross Lutheran Home, Napoleon, Ohio.
She was born on March 5, 1942 in Deshler, Ohio to the late Carl & Pauline (Panning) Behrman.
Arlene was a 1960 graduate of Deshler High School. She was a lifetime member of St. John Lutheran Church, Deshler and a member of the WELCA. She worked for over 30 years at the Hamler State Bank, Hamler, Ohio.
On April 28, 1962 she married Harvey Rosebrook at St. John Lutheran Church, Deshler and they shared over 54 years together before he preceded her in death on October 18, 2016. Together, Harvey and Arlene were devoted to their family and their family farm. She was supportive in all the operations, especially taking care of the bookkeeping. She handled all the receipts, made sure meals were available and assisted in getting equipment moved. Their passion was passed on and shared with their sons through the forming of Rosebrook Farms, LLC.
Arlene's greatest role had to be that of being a grandma. She never missed an opportunity to attend her grandchildren's activities and sporting events. She made all the trips to swimming pools, gymnasiums, tracks and ballfields. When not on the road, she made sure she had her grandkids at her home. They enjoyed the greatest sleepovers that included love, laughter and homemade milkshakes. Her unconditional love and support for her family will forever be remembered and live on in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She is survived by her children, Alan (Lois) Rosebrook; Pam Vocke; Brent (Kim) Rosebrook; grandchildren, Brandon (Nicole) Rosebrook; Brittany Rosebrook; Olivia Vocke; Erika (Clint) Walker; Veronica (Stephen) Yunker; Blake Rosebrook; Courtney Rosebrook; Carissa Rosebrook and Kaden Rosebrook; great grandchildren, Malina; David; Tristan; Macy; and sister, Ruth Fuhrhop.
