Rosemary Hamilton

In loving memory of Rosemary (Debbie) Hamilton (nee Bilder), who passed away peacefully in her home on Wednesday, July 1st, 2026 at the age of 78.

Rosemary was born and raised in St. Paul, MN, but spent several years residing in Phoenix, AZ and London, England. Her deep Christian faith lead her through both good and challenging times throughout her life. She had a sincere love for her family and friends and enjoyed sharing time by phone call or being together when she was able. 

Rosemary loved being outdoors, going for walks, working in the yard, and simply sitting in the sun every moment that she could. She enjoyed shopping, whether thrift store, yard/garage sale, or retail store. She always enjoyed a good card game and began a true love for Bingo. When taking time to relax, she could be found watching older television shows or movies. Rosemary liked many types of music, and in her younger years she could be caught dancing around the house. Although, nothing topped off many of these moments better than a Diet Pepsi!

Rosemary (Debbie) is survived by her daughter, Mary Ellen Perry; grandchildren, Brittany Schneider, Moriah Perry, Dalton Perry, Destiny Krueger, and Breauna Krueger; great-granddaughters, Oaklyn and Austyn; sisters, Dorothy Kicker and Mary Charpentier, and brother, John Bilder. 

Rosemary is preceded in death by her infant daughter, Ann-Marie Markus; parents, Jerome J. Bilder and Marie Bilder; sister, Patricia Navarre; brothers, Jerry Bilder, Thomas Bilder, and Joseph Bilder.

A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, August 23, 2026 from 10:30 AM - 1:30 PM at Como Park Shelter, 1224 Midway Parkway (between Kaufman Drive & Estabrook Dr.) St. Paul, MN 55103

Rosemary will rest beside her parents at Evergreen Memorial Gardens in Mahtomedi, MN.

The family would like to express their appreciation to friends and staff at the Boden Senior Living in Maplewood, MN.
