Sarah's obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sarah Rosebush (Gerlach), who left this world on December 21, 2025. Born on October 24, 1953, Sarah was a truly remarkable woman with a spitfire personality, possessing a blunt sense of honesty and a giving nature that touched all who knew her. 

 Sarah was predeceased by her devoted husband, Larry Rosebush, and her loving parents, Clarence and Alberta Gerlach.
Her brothers, Clarence and Paul Gerlach, also preceded her in death. 

 She is survived and fondly remembered by her brothers, Gene (Bonnie) Gerlach and Dale (Chris) Gerlach, who are left to cherish her memory.
Her sisters, Goldie (Mark) Mattfolk, Pam (Donald) Aldrich, Bonnie (David) Hokenson, Tina Gould, Dawn (Jan) Beilfuss, and Nicole (Ray) Syers, will hold dear the strong bond they shared with Sarah.

 Sarah was also a beloved mother and Grandmother. She leaves behind her sons, Clare Chase, Terry "Turk" (Jill) Chase, and Dennis (Laura) Chase. 12 Grandchildren and 5 Great Grandchildren 

 Despite her no-filter character, Sarah's kindness radiated to all those around her, persistently nurturing, guiding, and supporting her family and friends. Her sense of humor and straight-forwardness endeared her to many, making a lasting impression that will continue to live on. 

 She had a love for cooking and baking. Anytime you stopped by Sarah's house, she was offering up a meal. Her pasties and cookies were a hit at the local bar. Every Monday was "Bitch Club" where she would meet up with her friends to have a beer or two.

As we mourn the loss of Sarah, we also celebrate the joy and love she brought into our lives. Her legacy will continue to inspire us, reminding us of the importance of love, family, and honesty. Rest in peace, Sarah. Your memory will forever be emblazoned in our hearts.
