Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Rosemarie Bendekovits Wilson passed away on Sunday night, May 31, 2026, at the age of 89. She lived independently in her home until the end and passed away as well as anyone can – in her own home, in her own bed, during the night.
Rosemarie was born in 1936 in Allentown PA to immigrant parents. In the 1950s and 1960s she modeled in New York City and in Europe and later was a successful real estate agent in Florida.
She married Albert T. Wilson III and had two children, Teddy and Alysia. Rosemarie was passionate about conservative politics, the right to life, the arts, gardening, her pets and her children. She was a conservative firebrand and did not mince words – if you know, you know.
Rosemarie is survived by her children, Ted Wilson (Maria D. Wilson) of Fuquay-Varina NC and Alysia Bowsher (Jay Bowsher) of Vero Beach FL, three grandchildren, Christina Bowsher Incampo (John), Erin Bowsher, and Tristan Wilson, as well as two brothers, Joe and John Bendekovits.
Rosemarie chose cremation and asked that no formal service be held for her, therefore services will be private. A mass intention at St. Helen’s Catholic Church will be offered on Sunday July 19th at the 8:45am service.
Given her love for her pets throughout her life, donations to the Humane Society of Vero Beach and Indian River County (https://hsvb.org) would be welcome.
A celebration of Rosemarie’s life is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at The Heritage Center from 4:00-6:00 p.m. Dinner is included. Please let Rosemarie’s friends and fellow patriots know.
Otherwise, we would suggest that her friends offer up a heartfelt prayer, and that those other than her friends find a bit of forgiveness in their hearts. We expect that Rosemarie will shortly be assisting St. Peter at the Gates, raising funds for heaven and checking the conservative bonafides for all those seeking entrance.

I still shed a tear every so often for my friend, Rosemarie. I haven’t know her as long as others, but often drove her to meetings, fund raisers, and benefits. She was one strong gal and a true Patriot. Prayers daily for her family, hoping their wonderful memories of her will help to heal their hearts.

I will never forget Rosemarie’s boldness for what she believed in. I have often said I want to be like “Rosemarie Wilson when I grow up”. She was a courageous woman and I am blessed to have known her.

Condolences to Rosemarie’s family and friends. Rosemarie lived life Patriotically. She spoke her mind and stood firm on issues close to her heart. She dedicated her life to American values. Rosemarie’s tenacious ability to defend her stance and call people out could rub a person the wrong way. I loved and respected that quality. She was bold, confident, intelligent, loyal, and a beautiful patriotic warrior. Thank you Rosemarie for your love and passion. You’ve earned your wings. May you rest in peace.

I am still in disbelief knowing that Rosemarie is no longer with us. A very strong individual and I was always impressed by her stamina and undertakings. Fundraising at all costs to promote conservative values and the Republican Party. Glad to have known Rosemarie for the passed few years. May she soar with the angels!!
