Rosemary Prasek

It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, Rosemary Prasek on August 11, 2023, at her home in Raleigh, NC, where she was surrounded by loved ones.

Rose to those who knew her, was born in Chicago, IL on June 7, 1961 to Ignac and Marija Glavac. She will be so missed by her husband of 40 years, Dave Prasek, son Ryan (Rachel), and especially by her granddog, Teddy. She is predeceased by her father, Ignac Glavac. Rose is survived by mother Marija, siblings Mary Glavac, Joan Wroblewski (Roger), and John Glavac, and many nieces and nephews whom she adored.

Rose and Dave loved to travel, and were always thrilled to have Ryan and Rachel join them on a cruise. Back on land, Rose loved visiting Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Seattle. Rose and Dave lived in Illinois, Florida, and Seattle before settling near their son in Raleigh, NC.

Cancer may have shortened her life, but it could not dim Rose’s love of life. She never lost her smile or her concern for others and was ready to try any treatment that might give her more time to travel, spend time with her family, and spoil Teddy with treats. Her infectious smile, her generous spirit, and her compassion for others will be missed.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: Metavivor Research and Support (EIN 37-1578088) 1783 Forest Drive #184, Annapolis, MD 21401

A memorial service will be held at 11:00am on November 4, 2023, at the Slovenian Catholic Church. A luncheon will follow immediately after at the Slovenian Catholic Cultural Center (14252 Main Street, Lemont, IL) for her family and friends.
