Mary Rosalee "Rosie" Guenthner, 94, of Piqua, passed away at 3:07 p.m. Friday, June 26, 2026, at Ayden Healthcare of Piqua, following a brief illness. She was surrounded by her loving family as she entered into the presence of the Lord. Mary was born June 16, 1932 in Troy, to the late William and Mildred (Leffel) Lippincott. She married David L.. Guenthner on July 24, 1959 in Piqua who proceded her in death on October 31, 2012.

Survivors include a son and daughter-in-law, Mark A. & Patsy J. (Maxwell) Guenthner of Piqua; three step-grandsons, Bradley, Bryon, and Kyle (Shannon); seven step-great-grandchildren; two step-great-great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews who loved her very much. She was preceded in death by four siblings, William (Ruth) Lippincott, Clyde (Viv) Lippincott, Marilyn (Garnard) Littlejohn, Patricia (Robert) Walker, and a brother-in-law, Rufus Drum.

Mrs. Guenthner was a 1950 graduate of Christiansburg-Jackson High School. She worked for several years in the tabulating office at Hobart Manufacturing in Troy. After marrying the love of her life, she worked together with her husband for over 50 years in the greenhouses they operated, Blue Acre Gardens. There they specialized in growing Baby's Breath, Delphiniums, and a wide variety of perennial plants and flowers for the wholesale greenhouse industry.

She was a faithful member of Greene Street United Methodist Church for over 65 years, where she very much enjoyed Sunday School and volunteering her time to help with various activities. She also attended the Sidney First Church of the Nazarene for the past 12 years with her son and daughter-in-law.

In addition to being a great homemaker, Rosie enjoyed spending time with and caring for elderly family members who were in need of help throughout her lifetime. She will be greatly missed by all.
