A Mass of Christian Burial will be held 10:30 a.m. Monday, August 24, 2020, at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Charles City. Interment will be in St. Michael's Church Cemetery in Nashua. Friends may greet the family, 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. Sunday, August 23rd at the Hugeback Johnson Funeral Home and Crematory - Olson Chapel in Nashua. There will also be a 1:30 p.m. Rosary Service and a 5:00 p.m. Scripture Service Sunday evening. Further visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the church on Monday. Rosemary was born Dec. 1, 1928, at the hospital in Waverly to Florence M. and Francis (Laube) Harrington. She was the third of 11 children and grew up on a farm north of Plainfield. She attended country school before going to Nashua High School, where she was a member of the Class of 1947. One night, she went to Powersville for a dance, where her sister introduced her to her date’s brother, and that introduction changed Rosemary’s life. She fell in love with Virgil Zwanziger, and on April 17, 1950, they were married. The couple eventually had four children — David, Daniel, Dennis and Diane — all four years apart, and the Zwanziger children remember their mom as a quiet, faithful woman who loved and supported them throughout their childhood. The Zwanzigers were homebodies, if you will, but they would take family vacations to Minnesota, where they enjoyed fishing and meeting up with Virgil’s side of the family. Rosemary worked at several different jobs — Jake’s Food Market, the egg plant in New Hampton, as a waitress at a Nashua restaurant and Strawn’s Orchard — but she always said her biggest accomplishment was her family. She wanted to be there when her children arrived home from school. Her family eventually grew to include seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, with one on the way, and although Rosemary was a great mom, she was an even better grandmother. She loved to take care of them, cuddle with them, hug them and yes, spoil them. They’d tell her they loved her, and her response was always the same, “No, I love you more.” She also enjoyed talking to friends on the phone, completing word searches and watching the RFD and Game Show networks. And almost on a daily basis before he died in a tragic accident 2 1/2 years ago, David would stop at mom’s for cookies and coffee. Rosemary was the best secret keeper in the world, and when the secret was out, she’d always say with a smile, “I knew it but I didn’t tell anyone.” She was a member of St. Michael’s Catholic Church and the St. Bernadette Circle, and her faith was very important to her, even as she battled a number of health issues in recent years. More than once, her family was told “this is it,” yet time after time, Rosemary would recover. Rosemary leaves behind an impressive legacy of family and faith, and she will be dearly missed by the love of her life for the past 70 years, her children, her grandchildren, her greats and her friends. But as difficult as her passing is, they know that David had the cookies and coffee ready in Heaven. Rosemary is survived by her husband of 70 years, Virgil Zwanziger of Nashua, IA; two sons, Dan (Lisa) Zwanziger of Nashua, IA, Dennis (Cindy) Zwanziger of Waverly, IA; one daughter, Diane (Bill) Schaetzel of Nashua, IA; two brothers, Robert (Kathy) Harrington of Nashua, IA, Paul Harrington of Nashua, IA; one brother-in-law Bill (Peggy) Zwanziger of Ionia, IA; many nieces, nephews and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; one son, David Zwanziger; eight siblings, Norbert (Irene) Harrington, Richard (Betty) Harrington, James (Jane) Harrington, Theresa Harrington, Eileen (Clark) Zwanziger, Catherine (Jerome) Miller, Delores Zwanziger, Alice (Francis) Klassen Hugeback Johnson Funeral Home and Crematory - Olson Chapel in Nashua.
