Rosalia Ann Molski

Rosalia Ann Molski, age 83, of Mankato, passed away on August 19, 2026. She was born on September 24, 1942, in Mankato to Raymond Schumacher and Rosalia (Schulte) Schumacher.

Rosalia graduated from Mankato Loyola High School and later attended Mankato Commercial College. She began her career as a secretary at The Insurance Center before joining James R. Weir, where she worked her way into a career as an insurance agent. She took great pride in her work and the relationships she built throughout her career.

Faith was an important part of Rosalia’s life. She was an active member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church, where she sang in the choir and served as a choir director. She later became a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, where she continued to find community and fellowship throughout her life.

Rosalia especially treasured her time at the family cabin on Lake Jefferson, a place she had enjoyed visiting for most of her life. The lake was a special gathering place for family and friends and held many cherished memories for her. She also enjoyed water skiing, including time on the water with her son, and looked forward to annual fishing trips to Rainy Lake in Canada with her friends.

Rosalia was a social person who enjoyed spending time with those she loved. She had many dear friends and especially enjoyed going out to eat, catching a movie, and simply sharing good times and conversation. Her friendships, family traditions, and love of the lake were an important part of the life she built and the memories she leaves behind.

She will be lovingly remembered by her son Joseph and his wife Emma; her brother William Schumacher and his wife Jan, as well as their children and grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her son Michael.

A Memorial Mass will be held at 1pm on Tuesday, August 25, 2026 at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Mankato with visitation beginning at 12pm. A lunch will immediately follow at the church.

Rosalia’s life was filled with faith, friendship, family, music, and many memorable days spent at the lake. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
