Rosie Christine Requardt, of Beasley, Texas, was lifted up by heavenly angels to be with our Lord on August 27, 2026. Rosie was born September 12, 1937, to Ena and Luther Pate in Simonton, Texas.

Rosie married the love of her life, Edward Lee Requardt, on June 10, 1955. Their love grew stronger each day of their sixty-seven-year marriage.

During their marriage, they had three children, Denise, Ricky, and Tammy. Rosie was very involved in their lives helping with school projects, sewing twirling, ballet and school play costumes. She was also very active with the children's sports and sporting events and helping with the scout troops. Through her love, she was instrumental in teaching them to be loving, caring individuals.

She was a fun and playful grandmother and great grandmother who not only enjoyed playing with the children, she took pride in watching them grow and learn. She was their biggest supporter in all of their activities such as sports, band and choir. Rosie's family was the most important part of her life.

During the many years she and Lee lived in Magnolia, Rosie was very active with the Magnolia United Methodist Church as well as the community itself. When they later moved to Beasley, she was very involved with the Frieden's United Church of Christ where she was a member until she passed.

Rosie began her thirty-two-year career with the US Postal Service in February of 1976. During her tenure, she served as a Rural Carrier and Clerk at the Magnolia Post Office, and Officer in Charge at many post offices throughout South Texas.
