Rosine Mercurio, 98

Rosine Mercurio, 98, of Post Falls, died Monday, April 21, 2025, at The Lodge — assisted living center in Post Falls.

Mrs. Mercurio was born July 11, 1926, in Chiffalo, a small fishing village and Colony of France, in Algiers, Algeria, North Africa.

Mrs. Mercurio was united in marriage in 1945 to her childhood sweetheart after WWII ended, and moved to Seaside, Calif., U.S.A., with her two children in 1954, to join her husband, who had been recruited to Fish the California coast and Mexico, as well as Alaska.

Mrs. Mercurio became an active member of the Assembly of God Church after being Born Again with her husband in the mid '70s and spent the remainder of their life working and sharing the gospel of Jesus to all those who would listen.

Mrs. Mercurio made sure during their early years in America that her family established the practice of praying together at bedtime and made sure they ate together and prayed together around the dinner table. She showed her faith, taught those without hope to hope, and gave her greatest gift of all ... her utmost love. She and her husband led a personal crusade of devotion and giving by example and opened their home to strangers and fed them all.

Survivors include: One son and daughter-in-law, five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, three brothers, Antoine Culmine, Sauver Culmine and Jean Bernard Culmine, one daughter, Marie Rose Beasley, and one sister, Marie Antoinette Villani.

Services will be held Monday, April 28, at 10:30 a.m. at English Funeral Chapel in Post Falls. Interment will be at San Carlos Cemetery in Monterey, Calif., where she will be laid to rest with her late husband.
