Rosie Lee Kunkel , 79, nee Lindig, of Johnson City and formerly of Stonewall, died Friday, April 13, 2018. Rosie was born May 2, 1938, the daughter of Eugene Andrew Lindig and Annie Pearl Schumann Lindig.

She married Kurt Weinheimer on Dec. 22, 1957, in Trinity Lutheran Church, and after their divorce, she married Raymond Lee Kunkel on June 26, 1971. He preceded her in death on Feb. 10, 2017. She was a 1956 graduate of Fredericksburg High School and a graduate of Austin Beauty College. For many years, she was a hair dresser, owning her own shop, Rosie Lee's Beauty Salon, in Johnson City. Over the years, she and her family owned a restaurant, Uncle Kunkel's Barbecue, and a bar, the 4-R Bar, both in Johnson City. She served on the Johnson City Council and as the mayor of Johnson City. She liked to garden, travel and collect red glass. Rosie was especially happy when her trips combined gambling and collecting the red glass that more than filled her home in Johnson City.

She is also survived by five grandchildren, Kelsey and Levi Robison, Alyssa Hartmann, Zackery Bible, Taylor Bible and Zane Bible, and two great-granddaughters, Dacey Robison and Allie Robison.
