Jean (Wellman) Rosenbury Barbara Jean Rosenbury, age
59, of Burlington, died peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, June 28,
2006, in her home. Barb was born January 23, 1947, in Fort Madison,
Iowa. She was the daughter of Herman and Marjorie (Huffman) Wellman. She
was a 1965 graduate of Burlington Notre Dame High School and was a
member of SS. John and Paul Catholic Church.
On November 12, 1966, she married her high school sweetheart and love
of her life, Richard Lee Rosenbury, in St. John Catholic Church in
Burlington. Together they shared almost 40 years of marriage.
Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting and experiencing our Mom never
forgot her. She was one of the most memorable people you could know.
Barb enjoyed watching the leaves change in the fall on afternoon drives
through Nauvoo, driving the golf cart on the course with Dad, and loved
the thrill of being on roller coasters. Her utmost favorite past time
was playing B–One, and attending the surrounding casinos, especially
Tama.
She was 110% loyal and dedicated to her family and friends, as well
as her job at UPS, where she was employed for 27 years.
She filled the hearts of many people that traveled her path and made
life a little crazier for some. The personality, attitude and
bull–headedness will live on in each of her children, as well as many of
the people's lives she had touched.
In addition to her husband, Richard, she is survived by:
Her Parents: Herman and Marjorie Wellman of Burlington.
Her Three Children: Cristina Jean "Skee" Brodersen and her husband
Mac of Fort Madison, Rochelle Lynn "Roach" Waterhouse and her husband
Jeff of Burlington, and Bradley Richard "Stink" Rosenbury and his

Five Grandchildren: Kayla "Cacket," Kevin "E" and Marissa "Shu"
Brodersen of Fort Madison, and Courtney "Woogie" and Kameron "Budun"
Waterhouse of Burlington.
A Brother: Gerald Wellman of Los Angeles, California.
Four Sisters: Patricia Wilson of Phoenix, Arizona, Deborah Brown and
Laura Bryant of Burlington, and Doreen Pope of West Burlington.
Also surviving are numerous nieces and nephews.
