Berne Tri-Weekly News:
In spite of failing health, Rosemary (Rosie) Puterbaugh spent much of the past 10 days checking on her work as usual. She called Gretchen Lehman to check on a Wednesday night meal at the First Missionary Church. She checked with Geneva Clerk/Treasurer Bill Warren concerning correlation of certain financial figures and she had scheduled to assist with a wedding of 400 people.
The unique thing about Puterbaugh was that all of this follow-up work was coming from her room at Parkview Memorial Hospital where she was awaiting a heart surgery this past Friday. She had been at the hospital for over a week since it was discovered that a serious heart condition could only be solved through surgery.
Late Friday afternoon, it became evident that the surgery was not working out as hoped. Shortly after 5 p.m., doctors walked out of the operating room with the grim news, Puterbaugh's earthly mission had ended; she had not survived the surgery.
