Rosemary C. Lind, 80, of Fort Dodge passed away peacefully on Friday, August 12, 2016 at Friendship Haven under the care of Hospice surrounded by loved ones.
A celebration of her life will be held at First Presbyterian Church at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 20, 2016, with Pastor Austin Hill officiating. Visitation will be Friday, August 19, 2016 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. at Gunderson Funeral Home & Cremation Services. Burial will be at North Lawn Cemetery.
Rosemary Christine Brynie Lind was born January 13, 1936 to Lois and Osmund Brynie in Denver, Colorado. Following the death of her father, her mother and stepfather Earl
Erwin raised her in Des Moines, Iowa. She attended North High School and the University of Iowa.
On February 5, 1954 she was united in marriage to James Richard Lind. They made their homes in Des Moines, Mason City, Cedar Rapids and Fort Dodge, following Jim’s career as an Iowa State Trooper. They were blessed with four children: Connie, Janice, Jim Jr, and Steven.
Rose co-founded A-1 Home Healthcare in 1979. The family owned business was committed to enhancing the quality of daily living for every generation for patients at
home and in-care facilities. Rose was a recognized leader in the industry, serving on city, state and national associations. A-1 retail locations served patients in Fort Dodge, Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Rose held a family mindset when it came to her employees, and in turn she was a trusted and endeared employer. As a servant leader in the healthcare industry, Rose’s customers and patients always came first. She had a deep
regard for education in business, believing first you must educate oneself, then your employees and finally your customers. And yes…Rose felt it was imperative to find a trustworthy banker, accountant and lawyer.
Rose was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Fort Dodge, Iowa, the National Accountants Association and an exuberant Hawkeye fan. Rose’s generosity, humor and perseverance knew no bounds. She shared her life, wisdom and heart with all who crossed her path. Her love and influence will continue to inspire the multitude of lives to whom she so generously gave.
