Marijo Rosegrant
Mary Josephine (Marijo) Rosegrant of Dardenne Prairie, MO, passed away early on Tuesday, February 9, 2021. She had just celebrated her 70th birthday. Mary was born December 12, 1950 in St. Louis, MO to Leo L. Ohlman and Rita A. (Willey) Ohlman. She was the second child, and oldest daughter, of their eleven children.
Mary’s greatest joy was caring for and loving her four children. She was a devout Catholic, she loved Jesus, and she was a passionate advocate for the unborn. She had a giving spirit, and a genuine heart – always loving and caring for others.
She is now reunited with her parents, and her brothers Joseph and John.
Mary is survived by her children Sarah Frederick (David) of Lincoln, NE; Bob Rosegrant, III (Amanda) of St. Louis, MO; Rachel Winters (TJ) of San Antonio, TX; and Dr. Mary Rosegrant also of San Antonio. Her grandchildren include Langley Maness (David) of St. Louis, MO; Joel Frederick (Celestine) of Tacoma, WA; Isabelle Rosegrant of Lincoln, NE; Cori Caby and Jack Rosegrant of St. Louis, MO; Savannah Winters, Adelyn Winters, Gideon Winters, and Asher Winters of San Antonio, TX. Mary is also survived by her siblings Paul Ohlman (Caroline Morgan), Therese Foley (Rafe), Rita Ohlman, Agnes Steyer (Kevin), Michael Ohlman (Marie Andrews), James Ohlman (Dianna), Margaret Kosowski (Karson), and Dorothy Ohlman.
The Family would like to thank the physicians and staff of the 8400 MICU at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in downtown St. Louis for their attentiveness and dignified care of Mary in the last weeks of her life.
Mary will be celebrated with a Funeral Mass for family and friends at her parish on Thursday, February 11, 2021 at 11 AM.
St. Barnabas the Apostle Catholic Church
1400 N Main St, O’Fallon, MO 63366
Due to the current pandemic situation, a private family gathering will be held following the mass. A celebration of life gathering and burial of her remains will be held later in the year, details yet to be determined.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in her name, Marijo Rosegrant, may be directed to

I’m so sorry for the loss of your Mom, keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers in these very difficult times.
Margi and family,
Words can never express the sorrow I have for your loss of Mary at this time. Mary has always let the light of Christ shine brightly wherever she went. She is truly an inspiration to living a holy and devoted life to Jesus. Love, Meg and boys????????
Our deepest sympathies to your family. We have many fond memories of Mary Jo and she will truly be missed by all of her friends here at St. Williams II. May all of our prayers ease you though this difficult time.
Isabelle, I am so sorry for your loss! I know your Grandmother loved when you visited her and went to Church with her.
I have such wonderful memories of your mom from growing up down the street in Hazelwood. She was always so friendly and welcomed me as a good friend. It was such a joy to know her. She always had a smile on her face. I know she is missed but know she is always with you and protecting you all. Thanks Mary for being such a great friend. Love you
