Roseann C. Westphal, a longtime Waukesha resident, went to her heavenly home on Saturday, March 7, 2020. She was surrounded by her loving family at AngelsGrace Hospice when she passed. She was born in Darlington, WI to John and Mary “Mabel” (nee Meyer) Boyle 92 years ago. On August 8, 1953 she married Kurt Westphal in Milwaukee; he preceded her in death on April 6, 2007. Prior to her marriage, Roseann worked for Miller Brewing before devoting her time to raising her family. She enjoyed working for the voting polls for many years. A woman of strong faith and a devout Catholic, Roseann was a longtime member of St. Joseph Catholic Church. At church she found enjoyment in singing in the church and funeral choir, as well as working with the RCIA candidates. Her greatest joy was her family, and she will always be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. She will be sadly missed by her sons, Richard (Mary Denise Kaluzny) Westphal of Wisconsin Dells, Chuck (Theresa) Westphal of Pewaukee, Pat (Lonnie Curri) Westphal of Hartland, MI and James (Kimberley) Westphal of Delafield.
